Russell and Jeffrey

Another day of adventure lead us to Mount Field NP and the beautiful Russell Falls. It's a stunning 3 tiered waterfall and well worth the short walk in to have a look. How lovely to sit in the sun and have a picnic lunch by a quick flowing stream afterwards.
The afternoon continued in equally spectacular fashion with our 'jaunt' thru Jeffreys track....Kirsty's 'minor road' shortcut to the Huon Valley. The 4 WD track was a bit wild and wooly and obviously a few patches are favourite places for locals with monster trucks to go and take on the track. There's a couple of pics of us 'stuck' and then actually on our way again. Lots of fun and awesome driving by JVI. Kirsty has been relieved of navigational duties for a period of indefinite suspension! By the way, that 'shortcut' of 13km took way longer than the 75km trip through Hobart would have taken!


All happy ...on the move again.

Not the best ad for the Max Trax....they didn't work in this situation! Thank goodness for the winch.
Oh yeah... this is what we looked like 'stuck'. Pics are deceptive. The ruts were more than knee deep and a big rock off to the other side that we got wedged on. 
And to finish....the beautiful Russell Falls.
