A cruise across western Tasmania's vast inland waterway, Macquarie Harbour, out to the dreaded Hell's Gates then down to the mouth of the Gordon River. Highlights include the ruins of the notorious penal settlement on Sarah Island, and the dense temperate rainforests which line the Gordon River.
These images were taken with Nikon D300.
