Huon Valley and Hartz Mountain.
Hi all, we have been staying at Port Huon. Our camp is on the Huon River which is very calm but fast flowing tanin stained water. Rain has persisted for the last 3 days but today was better weather, so we headed out exploring.
Spent most of the day at Tahune Airwalk. Garry started by doing a hang gliding trip across the forest and Houn rapids. He found it
a lovely view but a bit lame.
The Airwalk was fantastic. It is a 600 meter long bridge about 40 meters high that enables you to walk through the forest canopy.
The rain forest was amazing. Very tall myrtles, leatherwood, blackwood, stringy bark and huon pines. The forest floor was lovely too, with lots of varieties of moss, ferns, treeferns, colourful fungus and the massive trunks. We also went on 2 swinging bridges across the rivers that were part of a circuit walk.
We explored the forest for about 6 hours then went up the Hartz mountain and walked around the Alpine plants and saw a lovely waterfall. On the way home Garry filled one of our 20 litre
water bottles from a road side waterfall.
