+ | =====For Tyros In Tasmania.===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | By Jim Brown. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Part 2: "They all fall into the ditch." | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | As set out in Part I of this epic, this Section is to deal with the three regions most commonly visited by walkers new to the Tasmanian scene. These three areas are recommended because as a " | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===1. The Cradle Mountain - Lake St. Clair Scenic Reserve.=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | __Maps__. The Walkers' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sketch map, West Coast of Tasmania (South Sketch), is useful for general layout of the region and environs (including Frenchman' | ||
+ | |||
+ | __Stores__: If entering the Reserve from the northern end (Cradle Mt.) it is advisable to pick up stores at Launceston or Burnie (whichever is the landfall from the Mainland). Bring dehydrated stuff (except dried milk) from Sydney, but all normal grocery lines may be left for Tasmanian stores. If time in Launceston is short, or if arrival there is on Sunday, a letter and cheque forwarded to Ingles Pty., Grocers, The Quadrant, Launceston, will bring good service. At our request, they delivered the groceries required, including eggs carefully packed, to the Airways office at Launceston, where we collected them on arrival. Any items forgotten at Launceston may be picked up at Sheffield, a fair sized town on route to Waldheim Chalet (Cradle Mt.). | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the attack on the Reserve is to be made from the south (Lake St. Clair) rationing arrangements would depend on the town from which the trip commenced. Bring your dried stuff from Sydney, but rely for normal grocer items on Hobart or Queenstown, while the Ranger at Lake St. Clair (Mr. A.J. Lamont, Ranger, Lake St. Clair, via Derwent Bridge) runs a small store which stocks most camping requisites, including eggs, chocolate, tinned meats, bacon, porridge etc. (Bread ordered in advance.) To lighten one's pack for travelling, parcels of food, clothing, etc., may also be sent to Mr. Lamont, who will collect them from Derwent Bridge Post Office and store them for a small charge. If required, he will arrange transport of such packages or foodstuffs from his own store up the Lake to Narcissus Hut for parties coming from the north. Naturally, written advice and payment for stores and services should be sent well in advance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | __Access__: To the northern end by way of Launceston or Burnie. Trains leave those points daily (except Sunday) at about 9.30 a.m. and 6.30 a.m. respectively. Change trains at Railton Junction, and join rail motor to Sheffield. Fare from Launceston to Sheffield about 12/-. The proprietor of Waldheim Chalet (Mr. E. Connell, " | ||
+ | |||
+ | If not desirous of staying at the Chalet, camping in that vicinity would be unpleasant under weather conditions we experienced, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Access to the south of the Reserve s by way of the Hobart - Queenstown road. During last summer 'buses left Hobart at 8 a.m. daily, also 2 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, arriving Derwent Bridge about 5 hours later. Return services leave Queenstown at 8 a.m. daily and 2 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, pass Derwent Bridge about 2 1/2 hours later, and reach Hobart about 4 p.m. and 9.30 p.m. respectively. Derwent Bridge is 2 1/2 miles from Lake St. Clair, where small cabins may be rented from the Ranger at a few shillings per night. The Ranger also operates a launch service up the lake to Narcissus Hut, if one desires to avoid a day's march to that point. 'Bus fare Hobart to Derwent Bridge about 25/-, launch fare about 5/-. Parties coming through the Reserve from the north may arrange to be picked up by launch at Narcissus, by writing the Hanger some time ahead and specifying date. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===The Reserve Walk.=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The map issued by the Tourist Bureau covers this very completely, and only a few notes are needed here, supplementing the general comments of Part 1. The trail is well staked and clearly defined throughout, and although generally muddy, it should be practically impossible to lose one's way. Walking will be fairly slow, as a rule, but summer days are very long. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Except for the first day out from Waldheim, generally regarded as a " | ||
+ | |||
+ | The huts forming the end of each stage (Windemere, Pelion, Ducane, Narcissus - from north to south) are comfortable, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The majority of significant mountains, lakes and beauty spots can be seen from the trail itself in clear weather, and one may explore them at discretion. One detour which is recommended is that into Pine Valley, where there is a comfortable hut, and a day or two spent in trips, using the hut as a base, would not be wasted. Owing to overcrowding at Pine Valley Hut and dismal weather, we missed a scheduled stay there, and so failed to explore the Labarynth or ascend the Acropolis - noted local attractions. Another deviation recommended is to Lake Marion, prettily situated in the shadow of Mt. Gould and the Guardians. | ||
+ | |||
+ | By walking the accepted stages on successive days, and taking no rest days, the trip through from Waldheim to Narcissus Hut occupies four days. (1. Waldheim - Windermere, 12 miles: 2. Pelion Hut 10 Miles: 3: Ducane Hut, 9 miles: 4. Narcissus Hut, 12 miles). It is much better, if time permits to have a day or two in reserve for side trips, to allow for bad weather; while a day spent browsing around Dove Lake and the other environs of Cradle Mountain is a happy thought. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well, it was intended to cover all three significant walking areas in Tasmania in this Part 2 - but the length of the foregoing alarms me: perhaps you will find that the editor chips in here, and defers the rest for a further edition. If so, I accept that as the penalty for using too many words. | ||

+ | A cream horn decked with a spread of peanut butter is on a par with an ice cream on a choice tender steak. Still, likes and dislikes are the marks of individuality. It is certainly not unusual, and yet it is always surprising, how easy it is for one to become singled out and have the finger of scorn pointed in mockery because one does what one wishes. I know, because I have had it pointed at me many times for eating cucumbers, which are said to be poisonous. That same finger makes one laugh on realising the ignorance behind its oscillating movement. | ||
