Dove Lake, Central Tasmania, Australia – 60 viewsThis day had the coldest winds I've ever experienced, luckily I was using a Russian built camera suited to those temperatures. Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain (partially obscured by cloud in the background) are a world famous tourist destination. Not bad for a photo taken with numb fingers, frozen nose and in great haste hey? I often remember this photo when about to complain of the heat in our deserts, where I seem to spend most of my time....

Eaglehawks Nest overlooking Pirate Bay in Eastern Tasmania, Australia – 54 viewsFor all it's horrid past history of man's inhumanity to man, Tasmania is among the most beautiful places I've ever seen. This photo over-looking Pirates Bay is one of my favourites.
Thankfully, the locals treated me wonderfully on my visits and it was such an exciting pleasure to wander this island with my cameras discovering geography, flora and fauna to be seen nowhere else on this earth. These were taken on 35mm film in about 2000, I look forward very much to returning soon with my large format cameras.

Pasha Bulker aground on Nobbys Beach. Newcastle, Australia. – 124 viewsThis view of the ship wreck was taken from the rotunda on our beach. Nobbys Beach is in the city of Newcastle and is a major national surfing beach. It's also home to Nobbys Surf Club and a nursery for our "Nippers", which is what we call our very young up, and coming, surfers. Attempts are planned to tow the ship to sea soon and, whilst many doubt they'll succeed, it's fervently hoped we'll see the last of the Pasha Bulker soon. If not, it will mean the end of Nobbys long & magnificent surfing heritage.

Sarah Island, MacQuarie Harbour, South Western Tasmania, Australia. – 54 viewsIf there was a worse place in early Tasmania than Port Arthur it was Sarah Island. This is where the very worst of the repeat offenders from Port Arthur were sent. Suicide was a crime there and so, to enjoy that final escape, some poor devils committed crimes for which death was the penalty. It's said they'd dance on the hanging scaffold and kick off their shoes to the gathered crowd as a passing gift. There's a play called The Ship That Never Was" which tell the story: http://www.roundearth.com.au/ship.htm

Solitary confinement cells at Port Arthur Gaol, Eastern Tasmania, Australia – 68 viewsPort Arthur was where the repeat offenders among the early convicts deported to Australia from Britain were held. It is a fearsome place which sends a chill through one's heart. Those poor devils were treated mercilessly and, in many cases, driven to lunacy.There was a special section at the far rear of the complex which was used to house those poor souls, far enough away that their cries through the night didn't disturb the sleep of the military on service there. It was also the site of a recent massacre.
