Trip to Cradle Mountain

Ken and I spent Monday driving to Cradle Mountain. On the way we stopped by the roadside when we noticed that the paddocks were filled with what we thought looked like spiders webs and they were!

It's a phenomena called spider web ballooning.[click the link for some information] The local paper was also reporting it on the weekend in another area. Reading elsewhere on the Internet I read about gossamer thread from the Old English "Goose summer"

We made a later stop when we saw some interesting toadstools.
