Derwent Bridge, Tasmania

Derwent Bridge has no bridge and is located on the Lyell Highway and is situated at the southern end of Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.  It takes several days and nights to walk/sleep from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair, it's a popular walk to do by many.

The Hotel at Derwent Bridge is very popular as many people stop for a walk a round after driving along a rather windy road.  There is free camping behind the Hotel as long as you have a meal, so I'm told.



At Derwent Bridge is 'THE WALL'  [here] certainly worth a visit and to find out what it is about.
No photos are permitted to be taken and I got into trouble by management because my phone rang!


The building for The Wall.


So we were heading to Queenstown in Tasmania where I had lived for 4 years when a child/teenager.
My late dad was stationed there.
The visit to Queenstown was exciting for me as I had only been back there a few times since leaving.


1 hr and 21 min to drive 86.0 km from Derwent Bridge to Queenstown Tasmania.  It has a lot of bends.
