SUNDAY 29.1.2012: Continued on our way west with a stop at "The Wall". Artist Greg Duncan is creating a stunning sculpture at Derwent Bridge in the heart of Tasmania. The Wall in the Wilderness is Greg Duncan’s commemoration of those who helped shape the past and present of Tasmania’s central highlands. A work in progress, The Wall is being carved from three-metre high wooden panels. The carved panels will tell the history of the harsh Central Highlands region - beginning with the indigenous people, then to the pioneering timber harvesters, pastoralists, miners and Hydro workers. When completed The Wall will be 100 metres long. Greg Duncan’s sculpture The Wall will rank as a major work of art and tourist attraction in Tasmania. 
On Bob's recommendation (the Hamilton Policeman), we headed for the Derwent Bridge Hotel. Enjoyed a meal and along with other travellers spent the evening in the carpark. Derwent Bridge is a locality on the Lyell Highway at the southern edge of the Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park.
