Last night was one of the best and most fun Halloween’s I’ve had in years! We decided to spend it at the Rooftop Day of the Dead Festival in Hobart which, as the title suggests, took place on a rooftop, the roof of the Central Carpark to be precise. Hobart seems to have a bit … More Rooftop Day of the Dead Festival
If there’s something I’ve been meaning to do more of, it’s getting involved in the local culture and activities that make Tasmania the fabulous place it is. In recent years, this little island has been putting itself well and truly on the world map, with numerous tourism, food and beverage accolades that show no signs … More Royal Hobart Show 2015
You know your city is popular with tourists when it has its own sightseeing bus and being popular with tourists is most definitely something you can say about Hobart. For another recent Instameet we had the pleasure of being tourists for a day and seeing the sights of Hobart from the Red Decker Bus. We … More Hobart Red Decker Tour
Regular readers of this blog and followers of my Instagram will know I really like urban exploration. I didn’t get a chance to do much of it in the Czech Republic while we were there, however the little bit I did was awesome! Now that we’re in Tasmania I’ve been hoping to check out the … More Willow Court Asylum
Finishing off this little series of posts on the joys of going for a stroll takes us to the highlight of the journey, Cornelian Bay. Hobart keeps surprising me every time I venture out to see what I can find, beyond my previously explored areas. The walk along the Derwent had been rather pleasant already … More Cornelian Bay and New Town
Following on from the previous post whereby I explored the regatta grounds, I decided to keep on walking towards the Tasman Bridge. There’s a lovely cycle path that runs along the Derwent all the way up the estuary as far as Claremont for a total of almost 16km, a fine journey indeed. It’s often ill-advised … More Tasman Bridge and surrounds
This is going to be the first post of a few from a wee stroll I went on the other day, which turned into quite the long walk indeed. I’ve been living in Hobart for several months now and there’s still so many places in the city and surrounds I’ve yet to see. I decided … More Hobart Regatta Grounds
Street photography is fun, a LOT of fun. I’ve always enjoyed looking at street photography whether it’s from the old masters who invented the genre or the many many photographers out there today taking great street photos. Only recently however did I get fully bitten by it. I’ve taken a few images here and there … More Street Photography with the Fujifilm X30
Woke up to a Winter Wonderland in Mount Nelson this morning! Snow had been promised and snow was indeed delivered! It’s still coming down as I write this but alas has mostly melted away now. We had very little snow in the Czech Republic for the last two Winters so it was so nice waking … More Snowbart: A Winter Wonderland on Mount Nelson in Tasmania
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending another Instameet with the ever more familiar (and growing) group of photographers I’ve been getting to know over the past few weeks. Shene Estate was the venue of choice for this Instameet, organised by @lifecatchme with support from @loves_laughs, @jayedevil and @lovethywalrus. Being without vehicular transport for the … More Shene Estate: Ordinary people, extraordinary challenge.
