Day 116 - Thurs 2nd July: Cataract Gorge, Launceston, Tasmania

I decided not to do the Short Round "strong wood" test on this bridge down at Cataract Gorge; the bridge was bouncing around enough just by walking on it.

Day 115 - Weds 1st July: Bay of Fires, Tasmania

Lonely Planet has named the Bay of Fires the world's hottest travel destination in 2009. It does look a load better in the sunshinen though: http://pinnacletimes.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/binalongbay01.jpg

Day 114 - Tues 30th June: Natureworld, Tasmania

Why is it, no matter where you go, there's always a queue for the ladies room?
Also at this park I saw some Tasmania Devils. They're quite excitable at feeding time.

Day 113 - Mon 29th June: Wineglass Bay, Freycinet National Park, Tasmania

Ridiculously picturesque coastlines in this national park - even on a winter's day

Day 112 - Sun 28th June: Mount Wellington, Hobart, Tasmania

Over the next few days I'm off on a mini adventure around the east coast of Tasmania. Another hire car, this time something a little more retro: this tasty turquoise Madza 121. It struggles slightly with hills - but gets there in the end. (Oh! And the views from the top of the 1250m mountain/hill were pretty good too - I was above the clouds!)

Day 111 - Sat 27th June: Salamanca Market, Hobart, Tasmania

The apparently world famous (mmm....I'd never heard of it) Saturday market, Salamanca Market in Hobart has loads of different nic-nacs for sale. This guy sells hand made salt'n'pepper shakers. He tried his sales pitch on me...it didn't work. I don't think he'd cut it with Sir Alan on The Apprentice.
