Mount Field

On Saturday we went out to New Norfolk; which we were visiting for the first time. I knew of the Drill Hall Emporium, an antique shop with a lot of old french linen and wares (but knew it was unaffordable for me) but it was nice to look around. There were antique shops scattered up the main strip, and we ducked into the 'cake lady cafe' for chai lattes (it looked folky so we knew that would be their strong point; it was they were great!) some toast and of course cakes. Then Robbie suggested we drive to Mount Field National Park since we weren't far. It was a beautiful drive through the charmingest strip of houses lining the river, I'm not sure which town, but it was so clean and quiet with lots of kids outside having fun. We stopped at parts through the National park, full of ferns and fungi in the middle! And when we reach the peak, there was beautiful Australian bush, with the sound of running water but it was so quiet and still at the same time. There were cars around but we didn't see any other people. It was unreal, magical! I highly recommend it. We also discovered that there is an active small ski field there in the winter, so close to Hobart! It was a really lovely day
