. map of tassie!
I am a new convert to the joys of tassie. I know that millions have already sung its praises etc, but i really had no idea that it would be quite so delightful "down there".
Beaches: breathtaking (and not just because of the water temperature)
(this isn't my picture, but this is what the view looked like on the third day. We spent the second night camped in the far corner of the beach. Even the fact that i managed to get large quantities of sand into our pasta, and had the brilliant idea to save water by cooking the vegies in seawater couldn't detract from the view of the hazards rising straight out of the acqua blue water. in typical tasmanian fashion, the water was brain-achingly cold, but it was well worth the pain.)
Apparently princess mary came by in her yacht on the same day, but if that was her boat we saw, she didn't wave back.
Thanks to some very sturdy recommendations from the delightful miss piss , we also had a very good recovery in hobart. bath, sauna, steamroom, crispy bathrobes, and a cosy corner where you can prop yourself up on the couch and and eat huge amounts of good food - these are things which should be programmed into my life on a regular basis.
Oh! and today is Bloggington Love Day!
So here's sending my smoochy blog-kisses to:
- the queen of BLD, Jessculture;
- Fop, I'm so sorry that Nikki didn't make it;
- Jelly, 'cos "she's the best, man" both in Wobbie's world and the real world;
- Miss Piss, thank you for sharing your own special map of tassie with me;
- Suki, please enjoy melbourne for me;
- Jo, I'll shake a pom-pom for mickey-k any day of the week;
- Zoe, for those moments when you've got the wiggles or alexander downer to choose from in terms of toddler entertainment;
- edward, sorry to hear about your aunt, and i hope you get to visit tassie soon.

Tassie was fantastic. Loved everything (except the huge amount of roadkill). Best bit was the dock at Kettering (Cannes type glamour at the end of the world - no, the Beginning of the world) on the way to Bruny Island which was totally excellent. Oz need Travel Stasi who secretly substitute Tassie Tickets for our citizens who buy passages to Phuket. Spend your money here people!
tassie did seem to have disproportionate amounts of roadkill, now that you mention it. which probably reflects higher proportions of native wildlife than the mainland - at least until hire cars level out the population...
actually, one of the people we were travelling with hit a wallaby and had to put it out of its misery... ghastly. maybe they need lower speed limits, or wildlife tunnels to enable animals to cross under the roads.
Hi sjusju, Out surfing for information on clear skin & happened upon your site. While this post wasn't exactly spot on, it did strike a note with me. Thank you for the really good read.
