You would be hard pressed to find a more pleasing and historic interior than that from the  main ballroom of Hobart's 1866 Town Hall. 

It is amazing to think that as well as the Council Chambers (a function it still performs today), it also once held police cells, courthouse, and the foundation State Library of Tasmania.

Undergoing many renovations throughout its long life, the interior of the ballroom is set off by the last addition, splendid chandeliers.

Bruny Island in Tasmania, great for a weekend. This is taken from Truganini's lookout looking out over 'the neck', a narrow isthmus joining the two parts of the island. #weekend getaway #hiking
I wasn't expecting just how lusciously green the historic site of Port Arthur was going to be, so this was a lovely surprise! Was a wonderfully educational day.....the stories from this time of our history were amazing! I just wish every school child in Australia could visit with a school excursion...I can guarantee, it would be a lesson NEVER forgotten!

Five Mile Beach along side Pittwater in Hobart, Tasmania is not your usual beach. More a shallow lagoon that is mostly calm and therefore a great place for reflective photography. The water is so clear, shooting straight down you can clearly see all the wonderful marine life scurrying along the sand. ... wear gumboots if visiting here, they'll stop the crabs from biting your toes.

Seven Mile Beach
