Food was on my mind as I headed off on my first ever visit to Tasmania. I’d heard so much about the beautiful fresh produce and couldn’t wait to taste as much of it as I could during my four day visit. After a night in Hobart and breakfast on the waterfront, I picked up [...]

With just one month to see as much of the world as possible, I couldn’t resist a quick stop in Tasmania while visiting Australia. After a painless one-hour flight from Melbourne, I touched down on this beautiful island. Just under 200 miles south of the Australian mainland, the country’s only island state - nicknamed “Tassie” - has a [...]

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. Just pick a theme. It was soon clear there was plenty of Tasmanian wildlife willing to pose. These [...]

I’ve seen countless coastlines in Australia, yet those on Flinders Island would have to be the best of all.  In January I did a Flinders Island walking holiday with Auswalk.  Who could imagine there is so much walking opportunity on Flinders, yet with 5 mountain ranges, there is plenty.  We did not see another person [...]

One of the first things that should strike any British visitor to Tasmania is the sheer number of wild mammals that inhabit the island. We’re not just talking the odd roe deer here or badger there, but a fecund overload of marsupials – possums, wallabies and wombats – that suggests there is more than just [...]

As a professional Photographer who travels to Tasmania frequently for Landscape and Wedding Photography, I never get tired of the scenery. It just gets better and better each time I visit.
