Yesterday we drove up to New Norfolk to see what autumn colour we could see! This is the hop growing area and there are lots and lots of poplar trees surrounding the hopfields, and these turn a beautiful shade of gold at this time of year. This is the view across the River Derwent, funny to think this is the same river which runs out through Blackmans Bay to the sea, where it is so much wider!
More views across the river, more beautiful trees, we don't have so many deciduous trees as in Europe so we have to make the most of them.
I zoomed right in here.
This is the entrance to the Salmon Ponds, where the first Trout and Salmon Hatchery was established in Tasmania. The hatchlings were brought all the way over from the Mother Country and it took several attempts before they got it right. The things they did in those days!!

I beelieve I went to the Salmon Hatchery with Heidi on our trip to find a Platypus - ask her to confirm.
Autumn Tints are finde - but I can tell you, spring tints at the moment are at their best round Hamburg. I am showing another visitor around, and the weather is just perfect for a change
Yes you did go to the Salmon Ponds with Heidi the day you went to see the Platypusses!
Talking of spring colour, how is your cherry blossom tree out the front of your place? I would love a photo!!!
