Terrific pics! Hey Digger and Shaz!
What a great set of pics. People have always told me that Tasmania is a good place to visit. I never quite got round to it, though. So, I am especially appreciative of these photos, because you have saved me the trip. Thanks! It's a bloody long way from Hollywood!
Here's a really interesting American take on Tassie. It has come up in conversation here on no less than 3 separate occasions. That in itself is not remarkable, but, what is remarkable is that the 3 Americans who were asking about it, thought that Tasmania is a separate country from Australia! One guy had even BEEN there, and he was asking about any diplomatic relations Australia had with Tas, since we are such close neighbours.
I don't know how true it is, but I HAVE heard that the Taswegians refer to people from the mainland as "Australians". I'll be interested to hear your feedback on that particular point.
I was wondering if you might have dropped in for a quick visit with that very naughty boy, Martin.
The air walk swing bridge looks scary - out of the comfort zone is right. Those bridges have a way of getting up a very pronounced harmonic motion which always makes me think that you could easily be flung off if you let go the handrails.
Keep sending those pics in. That Nikon is a terrific camera, too... mind you, they're not much good if the operator doesn't have a clue about making up a picture. You guys do!
Waiting for more snaps and news!
Jack!
Jealous Even though it sounds cold - I wish I was there. Kim and I did it in 1977 on our honeymoon and Hobart again in the early 90's. Enjoyed it - but you seem to have much more time to spend than we did. Keep up the blog - I am enjoying reading it - although I think you have toned your normal travel reports down - where is the swearing? the inuendo? the sarcasm? the ridicule? Come on Chris - lash out!
Wow!! Wow Chris & Sharon - amazing to read of your recent travel experiences - especially having been on the air walk, up Mt Wellington, Port Arthur and the markets myself! You sure are missing our hot Sydney weather. Your photos are amazing. xV
Happy memories HelloSharon and Chris. I am enjoying your trip, it brings back many happy memories of when Alan and then Judith were in Tasmania. Enjoy the rest of your travels, long may they continue.Bye love Lily.
This is The Life Hi you two,
Great to hear about your adventures. We call it spending the kids inheritance now!!! We head off on our cruise next Saturday to Hong Kong for 3 weeks. Yep, Tim gets another IOU in his inheritance package..haha.
Enjoy our country's amazing and diversified scenery. It's still the best!!
Those shoes are made for walking! Hi guys. Thanks for the update. Great photographs and love the travel log. You're both excellent embassadors for travelling in Australia.
Hope weather has improved Hi to you both. Great to read the update & see the photographs. Mum even came down stairs to do so, Sharon you will be pleased to know. Keep the umbrella up & have fun - watch out for tassie devils of any kind.
Mum is doing well & really enjoyed reading and seeing blog content. We may convince her to get a computer yet.
Luv us
Go for it, guys! Heeyyoooo Digger and Sharon!
Great to see you got your priorities right. Have a couple of drinks on the way, eh?
Can't wait to see some pics and news. Thanks for sharing with us!
