Hi All

Have just finished my circumnavigation - and bits across the middle - of Tasmania.

You will see by the new album it is just wondrous. Everytime you turn a corner there is a whole new vista. This vista stretches 360 degrees from horizon up and down. Dawn is amazing and the sunsets change by the second.

The people are not just laid back but happy to talk and really content in their environment which they hold close to their hearts and are very protective of.

here are no IPs here, having been integrated and cross bred since the arrival of Europeans. Not a very pleasant story really.

I'm now off up to the Far East and back to work while I'm there. Will catch up with a few old friends too.

Will post more stuff as I go.

Am sad to leave Australia it is and has been fabulous and I could stay longer if circumstances would allow. I missed out NZ because ther's no point going just for a few days. I fully intend to go there for at least a month and hopefully not in the too distant future.

Got the bug now!!

Bye all xxx
