FAREWELL HOBART......................GOODBYE TASSIE

 

Back in Hobart at the Showgrounds for the Festival of Voices and it didn't disappoint. We had a fantastic time, great choirs and all things fantastic around Hobart. Lucky enough to catch up with the "Tops" for a fabulous few days. (whoops, forgot to take a photo). Like we said...........we love Hobart. 

 

Kel couldn`t help himself. He had to have a sing.

 

 

 Caught the ferry to MONA, forgoed the exclusive "Posh Pit", we travelled with the Sheep.

 

Entrance to MONA from ferry. Sorry can`t turn the photo around so tilt your head.

 

Sidney Noloan`s "Snake" .....fantastic

The famous wall

 

 Last day in Hobart and Mt Wellington didn`t disappoint. It snowed on us in the Showgrounds.

See you on the "mainland" and we havn`t grown 2 heads.

 

TASMAN PENINSULAR

The Tasman Peninsular is truly spectacular. We camped at the Nubeena RSL Club and explored from there. They made us most welcome but it helps when you visit the bar each evening.

 Tessellated Pavement

 Statue at Eaglehawk Nest promoting the "dog line", one of a few preventative measures stopping convicts escaping Port Arthur.

 

The beauty of Port Arthur as it is today although you can feel the horror and torture of yesteryear as you walk around.

 

 

 

We ventured out to the ruins of the old coal mines. Amazing place. There was a beautiful campsite beside the waters edge but, being the only ones there beside the tortured souls of the convicts, we decided to move on.

 

Heading back to Hobart for the "Festival of Voices"
