Two weeks in Tasmania 1

In early May twenty-one Travellers set off for two weeks in Tasmania. We took our vehicles on the ferry on the overnight sailing. It was a smooth crossing and a happy start to our trip.

Tasmania has everything you could want in a travellers holiday, all wrapped up in one small state. From the convict settlement history to world class heritage wilderness areas, from spectacular scenery to a great range of gourmet foods, from cute olde worlde villages to the highly recognized art gallery MONA.

The one thing it didn't give us was good weather. May is generally considered a good time to go to Tasmania but we had two mini cyclones, strong winds throughout, rain, hail, power outages, temperatures in single figures and even snow. 

Being a photographers delight, despite the weather, I have too many photos to post a full coverage. I will allow my photos to give you a quick snap shot of our trip to Tasmania.
