We saw this on a cap in one of the tourist shops in Hobart, which also had two little Tasmanian tiger heads on top. Australians are known for their strong tendency to take the piss on other states than the ones they live in, but it's interesting to see Tasmanians making fun of themselves. If you haven't figured it out, Tasmanians get teased about being inbred.More to come, as we are just home tonight and I'm tired. A list of some places we visited over the 5 days we spent in Hobart are below. Further descriptions will follow.
- Lark Distillery
- Ocean Child, reasonably priced pub meals and interesting atmosphere
- New Sydney Hotel, for good beer & lame ass music
- Cadbury Factory, the biggest tourist scam on the planet
- Barcelona European, for a fantastic big brekkie, served until 3pm
- Salamanca Place & the Waterfront
- Battery Point
- Hobart Penitentiary Chapel Ghost Tour
- Siam Garden Restaurant
- The Bakehouse in Salamanca, for curried scallop pies (fantabulous, and open 24 hours!)
- Richmond
- The Stables and Richmond Arms Hotel
- Royal Tasmanian Botanic Gardens
- Axum Ethiopian Restaurant
- Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery
- Cascade Brewery, where we caught the Easter bunny in action.
- Wrest Point
- Sandy Bay

looks great! and nothing like Antarctica. I think this was a lie that trickled down from some Adelaidians in an attempt to reassure themselves that Adelaide is indeed the center of the universe and therefore the only place worth visiting :)
Looks fantastic. Tasmania is high on my list of places to visit, especially after a dry hot SA summer!
And further to that...that 'we' say. "They cut the good head off.' lol *joke*
Good shots! Thanks for the advice, they really help us.María
