20nda aprilli hommikul suundusime tuurifirma kiirpaadiga avastusretkele ümber Tasmaania poolsaare. Vaade oli võimas ja igasugu loomi - linde kohtas ka (Austraalia ja Uus-Meremaa hülged, albatrossid, pisikesed pingviinid jne) - meeldejäävaim oli muidugi delfiinigrupp kes sõidu lõpus meid uudistama tuli!
On the morning of 20th of April we took a boat tour around the Tasman Peninsula. The view was magnificent and we met allkinds of animals and birds (Australain and New Zealand seals, albatrosses, little penguins etc), but the most memorable were dolphins who at the end of the tour decisded to come and play around us a little!
Paar videot kah, kvaliteeti palun ignoreerida :D
A couple of videos, please ignore the quality, lol
Paadisõit / Boat ride
Delfiinid/Dolphins
Järgmisel päeval suundusime Freycinet RP - i. Esimeseks matkaks valisime raja Veiniklaasi Lahe vaateplatvormile. Kuna rada tundus veidi igav otsustasime improviseerida ja ronisime mööda kaljusid raja kohale, kust avanes suurepärane vaade sealpoolsele lahele - Coles Bay´le.
The next say we headed to Freycinet NP. As we went on a hike along the road to Wineglass Bay lookout we found a good spot to climb a little higher above the trail where there was a superb view to Coles Bay.
Üleval turnides jäi pilk peale kõrvalolevale kõrgele mäetipule ja pargivahte kohates küsisime kas sinna ka saab. Pidvat ikka saama, aga tänu eilsele vihmale üldse ei soovitanud, ütles, et väga ohtlik olevat. J. siis sellepeale, et ohtlik on me keskmine nimi. Pargivaht omakorda, et pigem on sellisel juhul keskmine nimi paigast-ära-õlg. Ütlesime aitäh nõuande eest, kuid suundusime ikkagi Mt. Amost vallutama.
Ronida tuli mööda graniitnõlvakut, kuskil 45 kraadise nurga all. Mõni osa oli jah täitsa libe, aga mitte vihmast vaid paljudest jalgadest mis selle siledaks kulutanud, kuigi mida ülespoole seda karedamaks pind läks, naersime, et korrelatsioonis tagasipöördunud inimeste arvuga. Ülevalpool tuli paar kohta kus oli juba päris õõvastav seljataha vaadata, kuid enamasti oli tõus lihtsalt füüsiliselt raske, turnimist oli ikka kõvasti. Aga see tasus ära, üleval oli lihtsalt nii hingematvalt ilus...
We spotted a mountaintop near-by and when we met some rangers we asked is it possible to climb there as well. One of them said that yes, but he strongly disrecommended it, ´cos it had been raining the previous day, making the trail slippery. J. said to that, that dangerous is our middle name. The ranger then, that dislocated shoulder will be most likely your middle name... we said thanks for the advice, but we still headed to conquer Mt. Amos.
The trail was a steep climb and indeed some parts were slippery, but not from the rain but from all the feet that had been trodding the place. The higher we went the more rough the surface got, we were joking that it is in correlation with the people who turned back... There were some parts where looking back over your shoulder was pretty scary, but mostly it was just physically hard. But it was all worth it, the views were breathtaking!

Tasmaania II / Tasmania II
14. - 22. 04. 2010
Strahan... Queenstown... Lake St. Clair...Mt. Field NP...
Mõned nimed kus meie seiklus jätkus. Esimeses kahes viibisime lühidalt, viimases müttasime juba rohkem ringi.
Some of the places we went to. The first ones we visited briefly, on Mt Field we took a longer look around.

Kuulus oma tohutu kõrgete eükalüptipuude poolest / Famous for its really tall eucalypt trees
Värvilised kanad! / Coloured chickens!
Sellist nalja nägin mina küll esimest korda ja seda Zoodoo loomapargi külastuse ajal. Lisaks väikesele farminurgale oli seal mitutsorti papagoisid, ahve, kaameleid, jaanalinde, emusid, valged lõvikutsikad, tiigrid, kängurud, possumid ja hirved... ning veel igavene rodu kohalikku ja vähemkohalikku faunat.
This was a joke new to me and that in Zoodoo wildlife park. Besides a little farm animals corner you could meet all sorts of parrots, monkeys, camels,ostriches, emus, white lion cubs, tigers, kangaroos, possums and deers... and plenty of other local and non - local fauna.

Tiigrid / Tigers
Kaamleid kostitamas / Giving a treat to the camels
Ja leiba luusse laskmas :) / And after eating :)
Podargus strigoides
Ja sain ka oma kängurupildi kätte! :) / And here is the traditional kangaroo shot! :)
Lisaks ringijalutamisele sai safaribussiga kaugemalasuvaid linde - loomi toitma minna.
In addition to walking around you could go for a drive with a safari bus and feed the birds and animals.

Järgmises loomapargis - Tassie Devil Conservation Park - jällegi kängurud, wallabyd, Tassie Devilid jne, aga ka väike linnushow.
In the next wildlife Park Tassie Devil Conservation Park - some more kangaroos, wallabys, Tassie Devils etc, but also a little bird show.

Ja tuleb ka Tasmaania III !
And there will also be Tasmania III !

14. - 22. 04. 2010
Kuna nädala jooksul oli päris palju tegemisi, jaotan Tasmaania seiklused kahte ossa :).
Spirit of Tasmania viis meid ööl vastu 15. aprilli ilusti Melbourne´ist üle Bass´i väina Devonporti Tasmaanias.
Infoputkast läbi hüpanuna (kus me sattusime ühe toreda vana naise jutule, kes peale muu kasuliku jutu rääkis põneva loo sellest, kuidas tema kooliajal tulid II MS põgenikud Balti riikidest ning kuidas nendele tundusid nad nii veidrad ja targad... ) suundusime edasi Sheffieldi - seinamaalingute linna:
As there were a lot of adventures during the week, I´ll split it to two posts :).
The night before 15th of April we crossed the Bass Strait on board of Spirit of Tasmania and arrived in Devonport 6 o´clock in the morning. After dropping in to the local information centre (where we met a lovely old lady, who besides giving us great tips on where to go, told us also an interesting story about the Baltic State refugees during WW II - how they came to their school, looking so different and being so smart...) we headed towards Sheffield - the town of murals:
Kus kohtasin ka selliseid vahvaid tegelasi! :)
Where I met those lovely creatures! :)
Ning sealt põrutasime Cradle Mountain ´i rahvusparki:
And then we headed to Mt Cradle NP:

Jalutasime ümber Tuvi järve... / Walked the track around Dove Lake...
Ja nägime nokklooma! Keda muidu on suht raske looduses kohata / And saw platypus! Who is a rare creature to meet
(Video tegin ka, mis on pildist parem, sest loom tuleb kaldale lähemale / Made also a video which is better as it comes close to the shore)
