Geological folds, tannin & fish farms – The cruise – Pt 2

February 3, 2010

Continuing on with our day on the water.

I should mention that the cruise boats are very comfortable & more importantly the water is also comfortable.  Little to no swell on the inside of the harbour which meant no sea sickness.  This is a good thing. 🙂

Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania.

One of the small bays along the far side of the harbour. Tannin stains the water dark, making it look black.

Note the colours & folds in the rocks as well as the wild, tangled vegetation.

Fish farms!  Fish farming in Tasmania = salmon.  Fine, Tasmanian salmon.  Which most people seem to enjoy eating.  These farms are on Macquarie Harbour.

Feeding the salmon.

A bag of fish!

A petrel flies overhead, looking for a free feed of salmon.
