Tree ferns

Rural Tasmania. The outback parts of Tassie are rain forest, other parts sheep farms and others vineyards, but not many yet. Loved Jansz sparkling wine. Wish I could bring some to book club.

Strahan, Tasmania

Tasmania

One of the most beautiful places we have been.  We drove around the island and passed many places we wanted to stay for a week!!  Now in the airport on our way to Melbourne .  Leave for home on Monday.  Will try to post another picture before my $5half hour runs out!!

Bicheno, Tasmania

One of the most georgous beaches I’ve ever seen. View out our window at Ocean View Resort.

Penguin, Tasmania

Yes, this town is Penguin.  Very small, a cute coffee shop with wi fi which has been spotty at best.  Yesterday we drove through very remote and rural parts of Tassie.  Really like this place, I t’s very beautiful, rural somewhat like life in the 50′s.  There is a logging industry here, some clear cutting and replanting .  The beaches are beautiful.  I dived in the kelp forest in Southeastern Tasmania

Beautiful country side

Tasmania vineyards . Have not yet visited a winery, but have tried the wine , it’s good.

Tasmanian Devil

Cute but vicious little guys. Mon

Hobart Harbor

Love Tasmania; clean, beautiful, probably very livable . Reminds me of Central California, Monterey, San Louis Obispo, wineries, ranches etc.

Female Factory, Hobart , Tasmania

The female prison in Hobart , part of the British run prison system which founded New Damian’s Land – Tasmania. Grim beginnings.
