Chapter 6 "J 140 - Thursday, November 26"
A new day on the roads of Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair rating.
We choose our circuit, "Shadow Lake Circuit, 5h. In addition, as one is crazy, we ralonge playtipus by the bay, 20-minute detour.
Result: No playtipus seen around the lake, but only a "pademelon" gone astray in the middle of the road leading to the beginning of tracks.
slopes in the forest, and AC rises again. Deception. No sensational scenery to observe. Just trees that look for 1:15, the time it took to reach the lake. It would have taken less time that this "Tiger Snake" had not put in our way, literally and figuratively. It is our
fesait malignant when we read at the visitor information:
"CAUTION: Those Snakes are very Currently very active"
In fact, we saw that first fled to our path. I walked in front, behind Doriane and suddenly, I fesais my least proud. We had seen one, so we said that it was finished for the day .. Nay!
5 minutes later I see something black moving to my right ... no rash for 2 cents, I put myself ahead with hounds. Doris, she stopped dead. The snake has separated us. Stands a few seconds, then stops on the roadside, blocking still my companion, and looking with an evil look in her tongue. Only thing to do: Wait until Mr. reptile well wishes go his way. 10 minutes later and after much courageous attempts Doriane He DEIGNE through, and away.

Curious to know if this was dangerous snake, I did some research. Here is a copy paste from wikipedia:
The snake tiger is very variable in color ranging from black to green jay united through yellow-orange with green stripes. The belly is white, yellow or olive-green with a black border but colors can vary so much from one individual to another it is not possible to use this criterion to classify them. Their length varies from 1 to 1.80 m in some sub-species can exceed 2 meters.
Location life: We found the tiger snake in Tasmania and surrounding islands as well as virtually the entire continent Australia.
Food: They feed on birds (they climb the trees to catch the chicks) and small mammals they will uncover in their burrows (they are predators of pests like rats, mice and rabbits imported by Europeans). Juveniles eat small reptiles instead of strangling them in their rings. They may also feed on carrion.
Danger: They are venomous snakes which produce large quantities of venom neurotoxin affecting the central nervous system but can also cause rhabdomyolysis and hemolysis, which lead to kidney failure. Like most
snakes, tiger snakes are not aggressive and flee from humans, but they become very dangerous when surprised, especially during the mating season they are more easily distracted. Feeling threatened, they straighten up, swollen neck, like cobras, hiss. They can even attack.
Protection: is a protected species because it is endangered. (Ca not deserve to be protected the beasts!)
End aparte reptilo-cultural
we are again distributed on the trail, fesant as much noise as possible (to be more explicit, I would say "sing and clap ") And it was fun anyway.
to lengthen the transmission is still our hike going up Forgotten Lake: 1 hour round trip.
were then crossed two hikers who do not dare tell us that snakes were poisonous ... "There is one group has 10 minutes of" ... OK, reassures
s Back to the campervan: 3 ... down between the pebbles, rocks, tree roots that make the road impassable and dangerous ... and finally no snakes but echidnas. The return was very long ("Mom, when do we arrive?) But with patience, we still managed to wait for the parking. Lunch break in the parking lot and rest our legs sore.
Road to Bruny Island, south of the country's road at 4am Lake St. Clair. First
hills and meadows are beginning to emerge, and the rocks give way to the greens and sheep. We're back in the south, no doubt.
Off the waterfront to spend the night not far from the point of departure of the Ferry.
