Looking northward along the Tarn Shelf, Mt. Field National Park. MacKenzie Tarn in the foreground with Johnson Tarn beyond it. The Rodway Range escarpment running through the left side of the frame. The Tarn Shelf is around m in altitude with the glaciated Jurassic Dolerite of the bedrock in plain view. Obviously a perfect blue sky day for a walk among the sub-alpine rocks and water holes and snapping away at the clumps of gorgeous, orange 'Fagus' in its Autumn glory. Fagus or Nothofagus gunnii is endemic to Tasmania.
It is limited to isolated pockets in selected sub-alpine areas of the island. It is a beautiful tree with gorgeous green to yellow to orange to red leaves when they turn.
As a remnant Gondwana species, it is our only deciduous, native tree and is often called Deciduous Beech as such it is. It's sometimes also called Tanglefoot for its interlocking branches. It can grow to be quite a tall plant in the right conditions. For the 5 kilometre race results and photos Click here and enter the bib numbers for the full individual race results. Race photos here.

By late September the warring Indians had camped in the protection of Palo Duro Canyon, where a Kiowa shaman, Maman-ti, promised them they would be safe. Ranald S. Mackenzie led his Fourth United States Cavalry from the south in a plan to trap the Indians in their refuge. His soldiers pursued several small Comanche bands into Tule Canyon and defeated them.
Mackenzie reached the edge of Palo Duro Canyon on September 28, , guided by the Tonkawa chief Johnson, and ordered his scouts to locate a path to the canyon floor, which they quickly did.
