Fagus Reminiscing
Late April in terms of bushwalking in Tasmania is closely associated with the “Turning of the Fagus” – that is, the leaves of Tasmania’s wonderfully unique deciduous beech should be at peak autumn splendor right about now.
Given the Covid 19 lockdown means we cannot get out and about as we normally would I have spent the last week reminiscing over previous trips to view and photograph the fagus and here is a sample of my favourites 🙂

Fagus is most commonly an orangey-yellow. If you search though you’ll find beautiful reds which really make for a nice photo.

The mists of time – a view back in time to the landscapes of Gondwanaland. Deciduous beech, ancient endemic pines and pandanis.

Fagus leaves on Mt Murchison. My plan for this years fagus trip was to revisit Mt Murchison. Guess I’ll have to wait til 2021 now…

The Tarn Shelf at Mt Field is very popular in autumn. In fact this weekend it would have been jam packed up there.
