Tasmania is an island and one of the seven states of Australia. Hobart originally served as a penal colony for England to rid herself of unwanted criminals. Original inhabitants were Aboriginals from Australia arriving across a land bridge during one of the ice ages. Burnie is an industrial center and a large container port. Tasmania once boasted the richest tin mine in the world. Much of the area remains unchanged from the time when the Aborigines roamed the land thousands of years ago.
Some may have thought that this was a "Tasmanian Devil," but it is actually my old friend, Mike. He has put on some weight, so I wanted to be descreat in taking the photo.
Falls like these offer great bathing opportunities for me, whether it's Tuesday or not.
I paused for a while to show this young man how counter sitting is done back in the West.
