TEXTURES OF TASMANIA

As i said in my last post, we had a little treat planned for my birthday.


So we went to Tasmania for 4 days, last weekend.
It was quite cold and raining a lot.
I wasnt impressed, but it was ok. And i quite liked getting out of here.


Tasmania is quite redneck, the towns are small and the nature is pretty and probably nicer to travel in summer.


We spent my birthday in Launceston, its very small and it was very rainy and windy. 
The prettiest thing there is the Gorge, its worth going to, got lots of walking tracks and chair lifts and stuff. Thats where i took most of those pictures.
I only took pictures on the 1st day coz then my memory stick was full with 330 pictures and i cudnt buy a new one, no shops open on Sunday and no computer. So only one day.


I like Hobart and surroundings, very interesting historically, convicts and stuff and the day we went there it was really nice and sunny.(more about that later)


Lots of animals roaming around Tasmania, the streets and the sky. Lots of roadkill too. Sad.
Because of the weather my favourite pastime was checking out old candy stores and i scored quite some treats there.

  9. am loving these textures!

    SO exciting that you're off to NY soon!! In which case I would highly recommend where we stayed: the Candlewood suites in the fashion district. It's close to everything AND loads of fabric shops which you will have lots of fun in :)

    thea.
