My first visit to Tasmania was ages back… nearly 8 years now and I still remember going crazy with my camera at every bend of the road. It’s such a picturesque little island and though so close to the mainland of Australia it is very unique. There is tremendous love for good food and pride in fresh produce and they sure know how to be one with nature! The photos below are from my visit ages back with my first ever digital EOS camera. This was when I moved onto Canon from Olympus EOS film camera. Feels like a lifetime ago! 
Would so love to travel to Tasmania again, we did have a great time in Hobart in August 2008. Oh and it was such a pleasure to stay at the Henry Jones Art Hotel. Here are some photos with links and some text to explain where they were shot. Enjoy Tasmania!
The view of ‘The Nut’ at Stanley, Tasmania. Stanley is the last major township on the north-west coast of Tasmania. The Nut, discovered by Bass and Flinders in 1798, rises abruptly 143m from the sea to a flattish top and is the stump of an old volcano. It was named after Lord Stanley, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies in the 1840s.
A trip back in time… when we visited the natural island paradise of Tasmania. Launceston, the biggest northern town along that has grown over time along the Tamar valley heading upto the tip of Bass Strait. Cataract Gorge is also proud to boast its longest single span chairlift at 308m. There is a suspension bridge over the river that look absolutely beautiful…but venture only if you must. Tasmania on an average is about 5 times windier than Sydney or Melbourne if not more!! If swaying on a high bridge tickles your funny bone go for it. The weakest point in theory is the middle of the bridge as you can *FEEL* the whole damn structure oscillate to the forces of nature even when its relatively calm! The adjoining park is infested with fearless Peacocks. Beauty to behold!
We have had an awesome holiday in
