The Rest of Tasmania

Here are some other photos from Tasmania. We pretty much played tourist, visiting the Salamanca market (which was essentially rained out), walking up to the Cascade brewery, sampling lots of seafood and visiting the local museum. Unfortunately we didn't make it up to Mona, it's supposed to be quite eye opening.

As I mentioned, the changing light proved challenging, but I was really proud of some of the photos I managed to capture. My camera has been a little neglected lately and it made me excited to use it regularly again.

Port Arthur

 I'm incredibly glad I made the time for my short break in Hobart. I spent an amazing few days with my best friend Alix exploring the city and surrounding areas and have managed to come home feeling refreshed despite the epic amount of walking we did.

 On the Friday we mad the trip down to Port Arthur, one of Australia's most historic sites where convicts who committed further crimes were sent. While many buildings were damaged by bushfires, some remain remarkably well preserved. I can't recommend it enough if you are in the area. 

 My amateur photographer skills were really put to the test the entire weekend. The weather and light were constantly changing and I was heard moaning quite a few times as I fiddled with settings. Alix was obliging in taking a few photos of me here and there, though the weather was so cold I was rarely out of my coat and scarf.

I did shed my coat once for the sake of content

Alix doesn't believe in keep out signs.

Flying visit

Tomorrow I'm flying down to Hobart (Tasmania) for a short break. I'm meeting up with my best friend who lives in a more rural area of the state. Good wine and food and a little bit of sight seeing are on the agenda.

It's my first time flying with just carry on luggage and the whole minimalist packing certainly has it's appeal. I'll be sure to cart my camera around with me though and return with some content.
