Arthur River

Today we took the Arthur River “Reflections” boat trip. We left around 10:30am with about 10 others. We went up the river to where the Frankland (not the Franklin). Its quite long and wide, but it shallows out a bit about 20kms up stream. We met the two resident pairs of White Bellied Sea Eagles who resided in the river. They were thrown a salmon each to munch on. They flew down to the photographing masses and did put on a great show. Such regal creatures. Very impressive flying display.

We then stopped back at the boat’s personal 50 acres of bush and waterfall to enjoy a lunch in the shelter provided and then a great walk out to the waterfall. We were each given a small photo album which had numbered pictures which we matched up with numbered plants along the walk. I think the walk was the best bit. The lunch was nice, apart from cask wine – eeew!

I don’t think the trip @ $85PP with no eftpos or credit cards was a bit steep. I think the Gordon River World Heritage trip was much more beautiful and interesting.

THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
North West Coast Tasmania

I cast my pebble onto the shore of Eternity.
To be washed by the Ocean of Time
It has shape, form and substance.
It is me
One day it will be no more.
More witness from the aeons
That today I came and stood
At the Edge of the World.
