Tassie Critters

This sweet little wallaby obviously can't read the "Don't feed the animals" sign. He was very insistingly cute and had a thing for apples...


Lavendar Farm at Bridestowe - hideously expensive - for what you got. Which was a walk around the fields, cafe and shop..... Not sure I'd recommend it for value for money - or the food.
The birds were cool tho...

I nearly sat on this poor old lady.. she was nesting in the garden right under the concrete wall I was sitting on. She was completely unfazed by us taking her photo - busy doing other things I guess.


Funky Cows at some Cheese Farm - found on our last day on the way to the Ferry - we also found a yummy scrummy Raspberry Farm. Oh the memories... mmmmmmmm

These pretty boys were in Cataract Gorge Launceston - a must do if you ever get there!

Port Arthur

It's hard to imagine the terrible history of this most beautiful part of Tassie.

We took two days to explore all the buildings and grounds.


DAVE JOHNSON LET ME OUT RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!

Bruny Island = Tassie

With the amount of times it's travelled over water - our Caravan is very nearly a houseboat!

We took the van for another little boat trip, this time to Brunie Island...on the Hobart...

We free camped a few nights on the island and explored by day.

(I just love this photo Dave took)

This awesome spot is where we went to see the penguins come in for the night, right on dusk a whole massive onslaught of birds arrived and headed to their nests... some tourists wondered if they were the penguins we were all waiting for.

When they did finally arrive- they were very cute and very quick and very very hard to spot!!!

Have to mention that there was a yummy strawberry farm - YUMMMM - perfect for someone who might, or might not, be dieting. *ahem*

HOBART

Hobart has the best botanical garden that we have seen (yet) I hope to see all the botanic gardens of every Capital city! I think the amount of rain they recieve may have something to do with how beautiful it is.

I didn't get any photo's of Salamanca Markets - but they are fabulous! The port area of Hobart is very pretty with the old buildings, lovely shops to wander, cafes serving yum coffee and rain. Nearly all the time. In November/December.

DID YOU KNOW??????


HOBART HAS A CADBURY CHOCOLATE FACTORY.... It is 'oh so' Yummmmmmmmmmy!!
and you will be very glad to know we resisted...


Well I did start my diet the very next day - so consequently I never got to enjoy any of the goodies in the bag!!
