A day out in the new car

Today Jo and I set off in our brand new Kia Carnival for a drive. We set off north to New Norfolk and then turned to follow the river and made our way all the way down to Mount Field National Park. We hesitated a little at the entrance because the sign said there was an entrance fee of $20 per car. It was late morning and we really only wanted to see the falls. After some deliberation we bit the bullet and went in. It was GREAT. The falls were spectacular and I spent some time with the video and tripod getting some great shots for Simon who is working on a water themed movie project at present.

After seeing the falls we drove on a little futher into the park and stopped at the tall trees walk. We then spent a vert pleasant half an hour meandering around the tall trees. Although the day was a little wet, the forest walk was awesome. I came away feeling the $20 admission was ok afterall.

We left the national park and headed back towards New Norfolk stopping at Salmaon Ponds Trout farm on the way. It wasn't the trout farm that attracted us, but the amazing pancake dishes they serve there. They were actually more like crepes, but delicious all the same. Both Jo and I had smoked salmon. Mine was served with Camonbert cheese, Jo had spinach. Each to their own me thinks.

All up it was a great day. We really enjoyed ourselves and the new car was an added treat. We got home at 4.30 pm.

Tonight I am at home, but tomorrow it is back to work!
