Wednesday, February 21st, Waratah, Tasmania - We woke up to find ourselves on a precipice! Right in the very middle of town! The town of Waratah, it seems, is built right around a chasm, with a waterfall cascading down into it, right in the middle of town! Apparently the early pioneers saw this chasm and thought "ahah, we shall harness the mighty

It's cool that your parents are so active!

And yes, doping on curling does seem rather nonsensical.

A waterfall splitting the town is a wonderful thing!We have a town near here that is split in two by a gorge...very touristy but most impressive.

Those forest trails are fantastic!

Its an interesting town, if you look at the two pictures in the first two links, the town now and how it used to look, it looks like a lot of the old buildings have diseappeared to leave no trace, leaving a kind of weirdly spread out town. It would probably get more tourism except it's not on the way to anywhere really and it's competing with a lot of other beautiful places!

I need to go there.

Before I read the bit about not wanting to take the classic/cliché photo that everyone takes, I had already glanced down at the Cradle Mountain and boat shed picture and recalled seeing my other LJ friend who's been to Tasmania posting almost the exact photo.

Haha yeah one can definitely find lots of versions of the boat shed lake and mountain picture on the google, but hey at least I wasn't prompted to take it!
