Tas-Stone Shelter

[Mad Aussie]

This is a little stone picnic shelter in the Mt Field National Park by the Visitor Information Centre, in Tasmania ...




I was crouched down to take this shot and Leanne was around the corner, closer to the visitor centre when she scared the hell out of a small marsupial ... some sort of macropod (relative to the Kangaroo).
Next thing I see is this little hoppy thing screaming around the bend with his furry 250mm (about 10 inches) body heading right for me. Then he saw me. Man they can just stop on a dime! He looked at me for about 2 secs, looked to the side of the stone shelter and suddenly he was in full flight again and outta here!! Gave me a good laugh

We don't have anything like this - but it looks great in the way you took the picture.

Thanks Bambi and MM.

Not all ours are stone ... in fact most are timber with corrugated roofs or similar.
