At Mount Field National Park

Margaret and Mike with 2 meters of gauze, rolled at each end.

Boardwalk

The boardwalk at Cradle Mountain has chicken wire laid over it to help make the surface less slippery.The boardwalk made of timber, built to walk on above the wet and fragile land. This reduces the impact of the huge number of visitors that walk around the lake. New year 2008 it was unusually dry. Tasmania had not the rain that we enjoyed in New South Wales. Mount Tomah Botanic Garden as its basalt pavers and Italy too. Here they would (in a normal rain year) sink into the mud.

White

Guarno gauzing the rocks on Isle des Phoques north on Maria Island, Tasmania Cliffs on the eastern side of Maria Island
Limestone and dolerite area on the east of the Island: water and limestone action forming a drapery of stalactites

Triabunna Wall

This resting place is located at the front of the council building at Triabunna. A dry stone wall. I can imaging sheltering from a blasting wind in its curve.

White Wall, Tasmania

Top of the cliffs at White Wall, allocasuarinas make a soft spot to rest and they draw with their shadow 2 meters of gauze at White Wall with Mike at the other end and Haydn taking the shotWorking, firmly attached to the gound.




Natural Gauze

On Maria Island, Tasmania we found an inlet which was trimmed with white 'gauze'.

Jute gauze

Found this gauze in Mount Field National Park, Tasmania. The jute gauze holds together degraded parts of the track and surrounds. It pulls apart and rots into the ground as its purpose is accomplished. The linear pattern is also reflected in the structure of this timber, Cradle Mountain NP
