Day Five of Fifteen: Wineglass Bay Walk We slept well last night which was just as well because we were going for a walk to a lookout that overlooked Wineglass Bay. The Freycinet National Park is just 28 km south of Bicheno and is the jewel of Tasmanian's east coast. To be honest if you're not prepared to outlay some serious cash for the many Eco Tours in the area, you have to expect to do a lot of walking before you can experience this fantastic area. Wineglass Bay Walk: Over two hours. The Hazards Beach: Over 3 hours. Before [View Full Entry]

Day Four of Fifteen: Rust Rocks of Bicheno We didn't have a very long drive today, just shy of eighty kilometers along mainly undulating pastoral and agricultural country with some hilly and forested sections that has views of the coast from time to time. Bicheno has a population of around 700 and is not very large but the coast line is interesting. We arrived about 4 hours before the official book-in time and were asked to come back about an hour later when our cabin would be ready. This gave us plenty of time to visit the area where the [View Full Entry]

Day Three of Fifteen: Short cut to St Helens We left the Cosy Cabin located at Hadspen and turned onto B54, following the road until it joined Highway One. A few kilometers up the road the Prospect turn off was seen but we continued into Launceston. The car was out of gas and now running on petrol, to be safe I decided more gas should be taken onboard. It soon became apparent that the service stations in this part of town didn't supply gas. We were looking for a sign marked B81 but I got lost again and finished up [View Full Entry]

Day Two of Fifteen: High Cliffs Last night we noticed a sign pointing the way to Sheffield, it didn't take long before we were heading south out of town. I had ticked off a few places of interest to visit today, the first being Devil's Gullet. Along the way we both commented how green the countryside appeared. It was mainly farming landscape with sheep and cattle in abundance. I had not taken the still camera out of its case until today when the first impressive site of Mt Roland dominated the view from the car. Within no time the small [View Full Entry]

Day One of Fifteen: Long day across Bass Strait The last of the travel bags were loaded into the car and we left the eastern suburbs for Port Melbourne where the Spirit of Tasmania was waiting to take us across Bass Strait. We pulled up outside Station Pier at the first check point. The official looking gentleman asked a few questions concerning whether we were carrying any fruit or fire arms. Both questions I was able to answer in the negative. We moved off further down the pier to the next person dressed in a green safety jacket. After a [View Full Entry]

Well its been a while since putting anything on this site. I gave up photographing kids in kindergartens so my traveling stopped as well. For the last few years I have mainly been shooting Deb Balls, School Socials, University Graduations, Sport Team Photography and Dance Schools all not really interesting to relate to the general public. I have decided to use this site to document trips that I have experienced in the past (hence dates that are not in order) [View Full Entry]

Wednesday, 8 December 2004 For me its been a busy year. Travelling to a different country town most weeks. Many parts of southern New South Wales, Canberra and Victoria have been visited. Even one trip into South Australia. Many towns are visited year after year. Some places I enjoy because of the kindergartens I work in. Other destinations are welcome because of the people I meet or tourist attractions found in the area. I've had many centers where I jump at the chance to re-visit. I treat the staff as if they are my own clients. Other places, when finished, I [View Full Entry]

Thursday, 11 November 2004 I've been in Griffith since tuesday afternoon when I arrived in the afternoon following a four and half hour drive. The weather on that day was hot enough to drive with the air-conditioner on. I had been to this centre last year but for the life of me, can't remember doing the job. Forty children were photographed yesterday and I worked so hard in the hot sun I became dizzy. The staff have been extremely helpful and this enabled me to do the job well. I'm back at the usual Budget Motel on the eastern end of [View Full Entry]

Tuesday, 26 October 2004 Today I took a pleasant four hour drive from Melbourne to Lakes Entrance. Checked out the centre and it looks like a busy three days coming up. The Budget Motel is four star accommodation and is next to the eastern end of the lakes. My evening meal was at the Waterwheel Beach Tavern on the shore of Lake Tyers. The weather is muggy but I think sleep tonight will be without too many problems. Wednesday, 27 October 2004 After sleeping well, I woke around six o'clock. Outside it was raining heavily and I noticed the window had [View Full Entry]

Tuesday, 12 October 2004 This mornings session at the Kindergarten was the shortest I have experienced. I got to the room at nine o'clock, only eight children needed to be photographed and was finished three-quarters of an hour later. I headed north out of Bendigo, by way of the Midland Highway. This took me to the border town of Echuca, where I crossed the Murray River and into New South Wales. The town of Moama was passed and I was now on the Cobb Highway. At Deniliquin I left the major highways behind and followed a secondary road to the town [View Full Entry]
