Tassie Tour

Jill & I started a short trip to Tasmania last night. I took the car across on the Spirit of Tasmania to Devonport while Jill caught a Qantas flight the next morning.

I boarded the ship at 8.00pm and found my cabin on Level 7. By then I was rather hungry so I settled in to the restaurant for a rather nice meal. The ship left Melbourne at 9.00pm and I was ready for bed by about 10.00pm. By then we were halfway down Port Phillip Bay. We passed through the heads at 11.00pm. The cabin was only small with two beds and I dozed rather than really slept.

The Bass Strait crossing was quite smooth and the last part into Devonport was like a mill pond. The Purser gave everyone a wakeup call at 5.30am, telling us that we would arrive in Devonport at 6.30am (half an hour early). We were progressively called to our cars. Mine was on level 6 and one of the last to drive off.

Now it’s time to head for the airport to meet Jill off her flight.

Corinna is at the southern edge of the Tarkine Wllderness which has the highest annual rainfall in the state. We […]

Five Days at Cradle Mountain

I’ve just returned to Launceston, Tasmania, after spending five days at Cradle Mountain with my friend Michael Snedic and a fellow group of quite serious photographers. This is a good time to be in this alpine area as Australia’s only deciduous native tree, the Nothofagus Gunnii, is turning yellow and gold as we near the […]

Corinna – Part Two

Our second night at Corinna was very clear. The temperature was mild and the stars in the sky shone like diamonds. I managed to get a reasonable photo of the milky way between the trees near our cabin. Going back inside, I spied a number of little wallabies eating the grass and some possums sitting […]
