View from the top of Mt Wellington, Hobart The next morning when we got up to a beautiful blue sky with hardly any signs of clouds or rain. The forecast was -1 to 8 degrees C in Hobart with rain clouds. The morning being this clear we dashed off for breakfast place by the atrium [...]
Here is a little break from all the Hobart talk… Nearly two years ago, on vacation on the beautiful Island of Corsica, I started to write an iPhoto plugin that was able to automate all manual steps needed to attach a picture to a Gmail message. A few weeks later I gave it to my [...]
Mt Wellington conquest was a great adventure and a drive to remember. Kudos to D’s driving. I couldn’t have done it myself! We were now descending the mountain and heading down to The Henry Jones Art Hotel. Meant to be THE number one hotel to stay in Hobart. The staff were polite and very hospitable. [...]
We caught a fleeting glance of Hobart on a Friday afternoon as we drove up past the mall through Davie St. Not knowing the right place to veer off for Fern Tree — a small hill-top suburb on the way to Mt Wellington we landed up on the Highway to Huon Valley…. oh no!!! There [...]
Our flight was early in the morning so we decided to drive in to the long term car park and then take the shuttle to the airport. After going through security and coffee and a quick bite from Aromas we headed down to the gate but our Virgin Blue flight was a little delayed. So [...]

Yes after a long five year break. Tasmania here we come. Its going to be around 8 degrees when we land and roughly 3 degrees C at night. Yes!! Bring it on. Paris was colder when we were there, 3 degrees should be alright! Photo Credit: Alexwise
Kylie took us around Southport right up to the spit with little hidden coves off the main land. We even spotted the floating chapel and then walked around the marina till we came back to Palazzo Versace for our very sumptuously opulent dinner. Decadent it was. Do not miss Vanitas Restaurant if you are about [...]
The sunset views from the Q1 tower were really amazing. I was really annoyed that I didn’t bring my tripod along for some good photography. And having come in on a day with clear blue skies it certainly helped see the expanse of the coast much more clearly. They say on a very clear day [...]
Little later we headed down the foyer and began to promenade the streets of Gold Coast and came up to Q1 in Surfers Pradise — the tallest residential structure in the world. Q1 stands for Queensland number 1. Across the road from this gigantic tower is The Watermark Hotel. The colours of the exterior walls [...]
Apart from being Jeans for Genes day, the 1st of August, beginning of the month and another lovely month of chilly winter in Sydney it was also the day I took off to the famous Gold Coast. Since this was my first time up there I was really wide eyed and looking forward to my [...]
