The first two images show the inside of the very impressive Tasmanian Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park management centre/gift shop. On a miserable drizzly day, the woodwork on the inside of this shop literally shone in the very limited light available. I would imagine it would be hard to look at on a very bright sunny day!

The external structure to the shop is shown in the third image. All this structure is wood and glass/perspects. Altogether a stunning building.

The beautiful Wineglass Bay in the Freycinet National Park on the eastern coast of Tasmania as seen from the lookout which is near the top of the 2nd from the right mountain in the second image. A HUGE climb, especially for someone so unfit as myself. I thought I was going to die getting up there. However, as the image of the Bay shows, it was worth it!

Again, in Richmond, one of the beautiful sandstone churches to be found.

In Richmond, Tasmania, there is this little secluded garden right on the main street of town. I can't decide which perspective I prefer. Enjoy!

Some early morning images (around 7am) from Strahan, Tasmania. This little town is just beautiful and many excellent photo opportunities exist for anyone with the time to explore.

One of Tasmania's most lucrative industries would be the growing of poppies. It would also have to be one of the most beautiful.

Well, it's the second month of 2008 and I haven't posted anything yet!! Ah, such is life.

In December I went with a friend to Tasmania for a photographic holiday ... well, for me at least. It did strain the friendship a bit! The photo above is just about the first photo I took for the trip. Anyone who knows Melbourne will recognise this image as looking across Port Melbourne/St Kilda to the city from the 10th deck of the Spirit of Tasmania II. It's one of my favourites from the whole trip. Enjoy.
