Trip round Tassie

Tash and I did a last Tassie tour this past weekend. Down to Hobart in the pouring rain on the Friday. It was a beautiful clear morning on Saturday and I woke up early...was excited! So I convinced Tash to go up to Mt Wellington, (this is where the pic here was taken) and then went to Salamanca...meeting up with some good friends incidentally there (I love that about the Market! Finally met Christine!) had then a goodbye dinner with friends in the evening at a Mexican restaurant in North Hobart. Then on Monday we headed towards Strahan (the road had only just opened up that day! yay! We were worried we might have to cancel that part of the trip) and then back up through Burnie and home again.

Tash's wonderfully brilliant employers graciously gave her the day off work last Friday as well as the whole of this week!! What dedication to her sister - although now this end is taken up with me still getting my things together and her getting ready to move to Burnie. (Instead of moving into my old flat) She was offered some weekend work and since she works in Burnie anyway...it just made sense.

Angus had a spare room, and there's been much mention of their likeness in tv series/music tastes, so that won't be a problem ;) In fact, I'm looking forward to hearing "tales of the tash" through Angus.

On the weekend I purchased a new camera. I'm pretty impressed, as I've been saving and waiting for just the right one for a long time and on the weekend it prooved to be a trooper. I obviously didn't have that much time to test it out before hand, so I've mainly stuck to the automatic settings on this trip. I'll post some more photos later on today if I get a chance.
