BURNIE, Tasmania -- OK, I'm just about completely out of steam at this point. I left Hobart a little after 9 this morning and got into my room in Burnie about 6:30 p.m. In between was all driving, with breaks for about an hour and a half of hiking at Lake St. Clair and a few other short walks along the way.
I'll get into more details the next time I'm on line. In the meantime, here are a few photos from today.

All for now. Back when I get a chance. G'Day.
