G'day All

 

Well this tour is almost finished but still I have to go shopping with the missus so I have to sit around and find something to amuse myself with and I've always got my camera with me, especially in Tassie.

 

So I just sit there in the mall and stare at the shop window  :tongue4:

But I had another offer to go for a ride but I declined as I know about "stranger danger" AND I might have been a tad too old for it anyway

Now I know my dress sense is quite useless but I think I can do better than this lot of colour coordination

The "Nut" at Stanley was one of our stops and the view was outstanding

As we toured through the Seaquarium, I could hear the theme music from JAWS

Nah, no need to worry about that tiddler but the youngest of our tour members, Brendan, did get the crabs

I don't think I would be putting my hands in that water with mumma octopus guarding her eggs

On the way back we met up with "Miss Ruby", a 1966 1600 Variant VW

Gotta admit, she looks good for her age  :spoton: 

 

The block of units just around the corner to our stay in Burnie had an unusual formation of Basalt rock.

 

Is this photo the right way up  :dontknow:  or not

It is the right way up although the plant growing out of one of the cracks makes it look otherwise

 

Mmmmm, where did this little beauty come from 

 

Story-14-pic-10.jpg

 

One of the local Tassie Torana boys called in for a visit

 

T'was walking down the street with camera in hand as one does when one is a tourist and I says to meself, self, that car looks a bit funny

 

Story-14-pic-11.jpg

 

AND yes, it is a sillycar or Celica as some call it but the legs coming out from the back made it look a bit odd

 

Story-14-pic-12.jpg

 

AND yet some more ingenuity with local letter boxes

 

Story-14-pic-13.jpg

 

A good Holden number

 

Story-14-pic-15.jpg

 

Yeah mate, and pigs fly

 

Story-14-pic-16.jpg 

 

AND one thing I did notice about Tassie and that is they like to have good gardens.

 

This one is where the surfboard letter box was at

Might be one more post to come

But as u know Barry how many members here have said that they wanted to go but never do. are well

its their loss as we both know its 1 of the most Torana friendly states in Australia, not to mention the

awesome roads we travelled on nothing like it in any other state I have been to.

 

cheers Keith

 

P.S. My shitbox has made to Tassie twice & back
