As part of thecruise to see the Gordon River, we passed a commercial salmon farm. There are a few salmon farms in this region of Tasmania.

A Cruise Along Gordon River

During the half day cruise we saw Hells Gates, a commercial salmon farm, had a guided tour of Sarah Island, and travelled up a short stretch of the Gorden River.

Queenstown - A Tasmanian Mining Town

Nothing really prepared us for Queenstown. An hour earlier, we were walking along lush green tracks to waterfalls, then quite suddenly we crested a hill.

Nelson Falls is a waterfall in Tasmania. This beautiful waterfall is in a National Park, a short walk from the Lyell Highway (A10) between Queenstown and Derwent Bridge.

Tungatinah Hydroelectric Power Station

On our way from Hobart to Strahan, we stopped for lunch at a small park. The park was nestled within a forested valley and opposite one of Tasmania’s hydroelectric power stations.

Photogenic Melbourne

Melbourne is frequently used for filming. On the weekend we moved here, a feature film had half of Flinders Street covered in a 1940s era facade and the other half in black cloth to hide modern lighting and fittings.

Hobart, Tasmania

A recent wander around Tasmania started and ended in the capital city, Hobart. We spent a day walking around the city visiting various shops, sites, and attractions.

Garbage Trucks with Lifting Arms

In Sydney, and now in Hobart, I have been amazed to see garbage trucks with mechanical arms. The arm is used to scoop up and empty the rubbish bins waiting on the side of the street.
