I went to visit Tasmania for a month in August/September and I saw the world! Everything I could wish to see, do and experience I did in magical Tasmania.  On an island about 450ks by 350Ks, we travelled over 4600ks around this picturesque paradise, navigating every highway, road and track that took our fancy. Apart from the constant breathtaking scenery I [...]

Short distances on great roads with little traffic (I live in Sydney!) allowed me the time, space and rare pleasure of being able to indulge my photographer’s eye (alas with just an i-phone) from a fun perspective.

Whenever was the queue itself a prelude to an enchanted evening experience. In Hobart it was. So much fun for us Sydneysiders!? As we waited in the 8pm queue at the ornate gates, flood-lit in moody blood-red, the buzz in the air was palpable. With the overseas visitors in front of us, we shared tales of the [...]

As host of iFISH I am fortunate enough to have been to Tasmania on over a dozen trips and, each time, the sole purpose has been the pursuit of fish. I can’t exactly put my finger on what it is, but there’s something that excites me greatly and makes me feel at home every time [...]
