Northern Tasmania Chalets

Then the top of Little Horn peeps up on the horizon, maybe I’m getting close I think. Within another 20 metres the whole purpose of the excursion becomes apparent. The vista before me is simply breathtaking. Twisted Lakes is but a mirror, everything I’d hoped and planned for has come to fruition.
When you come upon something as good as this, it’s overwhelming. The sheer majesty of the panorama engulfs you, its power makes you feel so humble in its presence, there’s a distinct aura of “something else”, but it’s indefinable. It’s all my grey matter can do to remind me that I’m here to actually take photos. You just don’t want to stop looking for fear that it will all go away and you’ll be denied any more pleasure; but it stays as I set up the tripod. It’s not often I put myself in the picture, but here I feel it’s a must. Then I can look at it and remember just where I sat and how good it was.
There are many angles to be had here. Faint trails indicate where other photographers have been, little flattened sections indicative of footfalls. It takes me around 15 minutes to get what I came for and then I sit down and enjoy breakfast, although “enjoy” seems like a totally inadequate verb in this case, there is a higher plane involved here, one you get to experience so few times in life.
The cloud has started to form more seriously now, as predicted, and it adds a little to the experience. Changing lens and shifting position constantly I can but hope I’ve got it covered and, even as I’m moving around, the first gentle ripples of the day’s breezes disturb the surface. Had I been here any later I would have missed it. You like to think it’s good fortune but reflect on that fact that you’ve planned it for a week, constantly following the weather patterns, in the hope that you’ll get it right and leaving early enough to avoid all the problems that occur later.

Top Northern Tasmania Hotel Reviews

Commodore Regent Launceston

8/10 Good

"Lovely clean, large modern room and bathroom. Opposite City Park which was perfect for us. We will be back. "

Novotel Devonport

8/10 Good

"The room was very comfortable, with a great view of the river. What lets this hotel down is parking. Self parking is apparently about 100m away from the hotel (so I was told by reception), so I chose the valet parking option, which is more expensive. It is also a little inconvenient as each time I returned the car, I needed to let them know when I would need it next, which was sometimes just a guess. Room service was quite expensive, and the portion was fairly small. There's not a big choice of restaurants in the immediate area near the hotel. "
