Mountain passes.

There are winding mountain roads throughout Tasmania. The Weldborough Pass and Elephant Pass are well known to motorcycle riders and those roads, as well as The Sideling, are also used for stages of the Targa Tasmania car rally. Many of the side roads are gravel tracks and we travelled some of the them; along the coast towards Gladstone late one evening and, on another day, bumped our way slowly up a rutted narrow track towards The Blue Tier until encountering a 'Road Closed' sign at Lottah; the rest of the road had been severely damaged by recent storms.
Road washed away by flood. The Sideling. View from the lookout. Going somewhere.
Here's a sample, travelling the highway down to Pyengana. (It takes a while to catch up with the bike and apologies for the poor quality sound.)
