Flying high over the treetops (sort of)

Another beautiful sunrise over the calm waters of the Huon river was again totally ignored as we slept in. Eventually driven out of bed by the incessant roar of the road we headed up to Geeveston for brunch and a wander through the wall of lollies. This is a fascinating display of sweets from around the world where the value contained in the plethora of glass jars would be less if the contents were coins. And so with lighter still wallets we headed along the winding forest roads to the Tahune air walk. Not even a tree blocking the road stopped us in our determination to get there. After a gagle of hardy blokes broke of the low hanging branches all the sedans squeezed underneath and with a cheery wave to to the stranded campervans continued on. The walk through the forest, over the swaying bridges and up along the elevated platforms was enlightening. The highlight though was the hang gliding experience across the river. Makes one think that it would be worth doing it one day without being suspended from a cable.

Tonight we eat in. Gourmet pies followed by a video. As the sun settles over the mist covered hills and chill winds waft down from the high plains beyond.
