Today we woke to amazing blue sunny skies!! Heaven! We did a round trip of approx 350kms, Westward out to Strathaven and Mt Pedder. The dry roads made it a lot easier to navigate the twisties and once out of Hobart the open road and breath taking beauty of the wilderness was amazing. We’ve seen a lot of road kill along our journey, mostly roo’s, wombats and possums but today we had to avoid a pretty big live snake crossing the road!
The trip out to Lake Pedder and Strathgordon lead us to the end of the road, the Gordon Dam – Australia’s biggest dam, with a 140m drop! We walked down as far as we could, along the dam wall, incredible man made structure.

After Lake Pedder we rode onto the beautiful Russell Falls:
