Mt Field Lake Fenton Fagus

May 4, 2019
A Lake Fenton fagus trip is always worthwhile, even late in the fagus season – ie right about now. There was a lovely mist and therefore a nice, even light over Mt Field today. The fagus is Australia’s only native deciduous tree, and is a relic from the days of Gondwana. It is a wonderful...Read More

Autumn in Tasmania: Fagus Mt Field
