My wife and I have just returned from a four-day trip to Tasmania. Most of our time was spent in the Hobart area, but one day, we drove along the east coast. We visited Ben Lomond National Park and then continued as far north as the Bay-of-Fires. The weather in Tasmania is often cool so we...

I am back in a wintry Hobart at the moment. I have been working on an I.T. project here for many months and recently, had two more trips. Hobart is a great place so it is always nice to come back again. Most of the photos in this post were taken in late June and July and will include more...

As I mentioned before, I am working on a project in Tasmania. I have visited it every month since May last year. Most of my time is spent in Hobart, a great place with lots of restaurants and nice scenery. I especially like the Salamanca area.
