“7th August 2008. I think this is the Anglican Church (why would they have a clock?) on St Johns Avenue in Moonah.

“4th August 2008. A road in the hills behind Moonah - the shadow of this gate was clearly defined on the asphalt footpath by the morning sun. It was still cold.”

” 3rd August 2008. This whole area used to be famous for it’s apples - there were apple orchards everywhere. This building is on a wharf in Port Huon -it is where they used to store apples ready to be loaded onto ships for export direct to England http://www.huonvalley.net.au/nameorigins.htm). It is now owned and used by a Salmon farming business. Many of the small apple
orchards that are left are being pulled up, put into piles and burned. They are being replaced by Cherry trees whose fruit will be exported to Japan.”

“3rd August 2008. We were exploring around Port Huon. This was in the Sacred Heart Primary School - Philipa went here for a few years when she was littler.”

“23rd July 2008. I was walking through North Hobart, hoping to meet up with Philipa on her way home(she is one of the sneaker wearing brigade, with office shoes in backpack). I heard the scooter, pulled out my camera, turned it on, and took the shot blind (not looking through view finder or LCD screen). One of the luxuries of digital cameras is that taking shots like this cost nothing if they don’t work. I also get into the habit of putting all settings back to auto, just in case something like this pops up - snap shots like this are the only times I use auto everything.”

“7th July 2008. This kind of appealled to me, the good natured seal putting up with the seagull on it’s head like those cows eating while willy wag tails are hopping about on their backs.”

“22nd July 2008. I was driving into Hobart. This was the view coming down the Southern outlet, which drops down into Hobart. The moon was huge - the light from it is reflected on the Derwent River behind the Hobart Casino. And, it was cold.”

“31st December 2005. This one was taken new year’s eve on lake Mungo. It was a scorcher. Forty degrees Celsius in Sydney, forty eight at the nearest town of Menindee, over fifty on the open sands of lake Mungo when I took this shot. I used a tripod because it was windy and I was getting grit in my eyes - I burnt my hand on the camera when I grabbed it after the shot. I could feel my feet burning through the soles of my boots. Every one of the small trees had birds in the
shade, burying themselves in the sand. I tried to avoid getting too close so that they wouldn’t fly and cook. We saw distressed kangaroos that wouldn’t get up as we passed. I’ve lived in the Kimberly’s and other places in the North for years, but never experienced heat like this. At least it was dry heat. ”

Ella and I stayed in the air conditioned car for most of the visit to Mungo, whilst Andy braved the extremes.

“9th January 2006. Joh has been asking for a change from the urban pics of Hobart. After a week in Broken Hill, we started travelling home. This is on a station (I forget which one) south of Broken Hill. This was probably the best dirt road of the whole trip - it was a veritable highway and privately owned and maintained. It took us towards Wentworth. Like most of this trip we didn’t see anyone until we hit the tarmac not far out of Wentworth.”

Thanks Andy, I loved that trip - oh to be that warm now!
