A Day In Hobart

Posted on February 11, 2017 by tazzieval

Standard

Wandered the docks in Hobart to check out the Australian Wooden Boat Festival 2017. As usual it didn’t disappoint. Hundreds of wooden boats; big, small, working, pleasure, local, international – it is an amazing event. Then up town to see a movie, LION, and down to Blackman’s Bay for sustenance at Jack Loves Red. Love Tasmania.

: Children building boats – fabulous

: Old Mill in the heart of the action

: Masts everywhere

: How old am I?

: Parliament House lawns

: Music to stop and listen too…

: Music Boat

: Singing to the bystanders

: One of these boats doesn’t fit in here!

: Seagull motor

: Go down to Franklin and take a turn on The Nancy

: Beautiful craftsmanship

: Stop and eat – yummy

A Walk Into Perth

Posted on December 8, 2016 by tazzieval

Standard

Into Perth CBD from Roland & Jeni’s place in Coolbinia, such a lot to explore along the way. Using Hyde Park as a welcome rest spot, then LAYUP as a welcome brunch spot, it was a day of exploring the fabulous bits and pieces of ordinary suburban life along the walk into the city. 4.7km of fun and interesting corners.

Hastings Thermal Springs, Tasmania

Posted on August 26, 2016 by tazzieval

Standard

Winters day walk around the Lune River Plain after a few laps in the thermal springs pool, water temp 28C. The nice thing about walking on a rainy day is the colours that leap out in the green landscape. (However, the raindrops on the lens didn’t do me any favours.) Taking shelter beside the fire was a nice way to relax and watch the birdlife.

: Blue thermal waters meet tannin creek waters

: Watery ways

: Great sculpture along the way

: Colourful fungi

: Colourful bark

A Flood Around Home

Friday 15 July 2016, Snow last week, Floods this week; winter in the Huon isn’t dull. Photos don’t do it justice but in our 10 years here we haven’t seen this much water go past at a fast pace – complete with big logs hurtling by.
