I am soooooooooo annoyed! I wrote up all the stuff I am about to write yesterday then I think I was doing it for too long as when I clicked the next button that puts these postcards up on the website it all disappeared so I am going to have to write it all again! The next day in Tasmania I took the recommenation of the lady I had spoken to last night, but this time it turned out to be ok! Went to a big town by Tassie standards and to this creative paper mill wher...

Cooked a nice dinner with Sarah and chatted and to some othe...

Hello everybody just a real quickie to let you know I arrived ok - the weather is hot and humid but rather stormy at the mo! Am very excited about Tassie. My hostel is great but moving to a far cheaper one when I get back from Tas. Sarah who I met in NZ arrived this morning we are going to look for a flat and hopefully find some other roomies when I get back woohoo! (and gonna look for work!) Going to catch the tram now into the city centre about 25 minutes away ...
