one last trip to flinders

i've just got back from another trip to flinders island. that was the last of the 3 work visits we needed to make. this time we made sure we had a couple of free hours so we could have a proper look about.  we visited the west coast and made it to castle rock which was lots bigger than i had imagined it to be. i'll miss popping over there...it's such a beautiful and interesting spot!

lately...

• we made a quick trip to melbourne for an amazing wedding
• discovered possibly the greatest op shop in taswegia
• attended a brilliant play at the royal theatre hobart
• explored some lovely launceston streets 
• as well as the launceston gorge...
• took a mini getaway to carlton river with a beautiful friend
• zipped up to stanley
• enjoyed the last of the sunshine
• and ate like kings at peppermint bay

all over the place...

i've been busy zipping about tassie for work lately. it's been lovely to explore some old and new spots. here are some snaps of things i've seen on my travels.

• malunnah a delightful mansion in devonport. for sale and amazing!
• the cherry shed in latrobe
• art deco love in launceston - holyman house roy smith, 1936
• the best fruit salad i've had in a long time 
• a gorgeous cafe in ulverstone - 33 cups
• exploring george street, launceston
• home hill in devonport
• actual rugby in hobart!
• & some old rolled oats bags from the ritchie's mill....

summer holidays

the summer holidays are coming to an end for me as i'm heading back to work tomorrow. tim & i stayed on the island for christmas and new years eve which was really lovely. we were lucky to have had lots of visitors over the break - we had some fancy food at garagistes and at the taste and then went to falls to see the flaming lips bring in 2013. 

on a sadder note it has been so awful to see and hear about the bushfire devastation across the island over the past few days...if you want to help, the red cross have set up an appeal for those affected. please donate if you can.
