Beautiful Tassie
Nice that Tassie escaped the scalding heat this summer. Sydney was a cauldron in January to mid February. Thanks for reminding that Tassie is an enticing climate change. We remain tempted.

Wait no longer
It took me the best part of 60 years to get here. I don't know what I was waiting for. It's expensive but if you are prepared to camp it out a bit ...........

Tripping out in Tassie
Would like to be there with you and Pen . Sounds like its been fun apart from the van. By the way I lost a lens cap on the trip down the Franklin in 1986 , you didn't happen to find one did you?

Didn't see it.
Your lens cap is probably next to the polariser that I dropped in the same river.

It's bigger than you think.
It's only a small island but even a month and we are missing things to squeeze other sites in. And don't come in winter.

Often thought of it!
Tassie is certainly on my list to visit but Graeme, like you, would find it too cold. I might find it appealing, England with less of a population? Sounds like you did well to avoid the heat as have we this year.

No yes no
No to wooden boats, missed by a day. Yes to Dove Lake. No to Rosie but I am thinking of taking up the banjo myself.

Very descriptive and equally enjoyable comparison, the clumsy race on a beach rather honest albeit true.

Great image!
Fantastic shot, well done. It really stands on on a page of photos - and has made me smile each time I've seen it :-)

Thanks Jo
Actually it was a bit of a fluke. The guy turned around just as I was pressing the shutter.

Some TBers have chosen to stay at the Manohara Hotel...
Did you consider that alternative? It was much more peaceful that way.

No, we didn't.
We found a fantastic little losmen cusping on the rice paddies so we didn't consider staying at the Manohora. But it is a viable option.

The selfie life
love your work, that generation just love producing photos of themselves pretending to be having fun with friends they dont talk to because they are too busy taking photos and posting them, sorry girls, but they are the worst.

Gary and Penny, from the beginning... Again. Round the world for a year in 07 and we've decided it's time once more. So packing up the house, the jobs, selling the cars and up up and away, this time with no return ticket and no fixed itinerary. A smidgin reckless, sure, but what the hell. May as well indulge in a few passions before the last great journey in who knows when. Stay tuned and please stay in contact, cause whilst we love seeing what the rest of the world has to offer, we also love receiving news from home base.... full info
