Welcome to Tasmania

Hello from Tasmania! We arrived on Christmas and have been blazing a trail around the state ever since. The weather has been pretty good (I was hoping for a bit warmer with a bit less chances of rain, but oh well) and we've seen some neat stuff. And, of course, been attempting to meet the photo quota of a minimum of 200 pics/day! I love filling up hard drives.

We've been having a hard time finding internet since most of the towns here are really small (especially the ones we have been to so far), but finally found some today (thank goodness)! I have a zillion pictures to post, but that will have to wait until we return on Sunday.

Until then, just know that we've finally seen a Tasmanian Devil and that they are adorable. Also, we were able to feed and pet kangaroos and wallabies at a sanctuary (the same place with the Devils) and that we spent a good amount of time exploring the ruins of Port Arthur, one of the first prison settlements in Australia in use from 1830-1877. Other than that, we've gone on some hikes and some walks, and we have plenty more in the week ahead!

Please stay tuned next week when I am actually able to post some of the awesome pictures we have gotten so far, not to mention the ones that we haven't taken yet! Hope all is well for your holidays, wherever you are.

Hi travelgrrrl. Taz looks very pretty. I really like the links you include in your blog. I always check into them. Interesting AND educational! The sanctuary site has a good pic of a baby taz devil - they are VERY cute! They don't look like they want to be petted, though.
200 pics a day....hmmm.... you might need a Picture Addicts Anonymous (PAA) intervention. But, I will be looking forward to your many pictures. Well, have lotsa fun and stay safe. I love you! :)
