In and around Tassie

 Hi every one heading back south to Antatica this time to Davis station till the middle of April. So off i go on an other adventure. Did not have to do that much training this time with the only course being a dog-mans ticket for safe slinging of loads that went for 4 days. The picture above is after i received a needle for the flue from the doctor at Kingston in Tassie who then let me give her baby a cuddle. Very cute.
 Sharon my girlfreind come down and spent the weekend with me before leaving. We had packed a lot in including a day tour to Bruni Island just south of Hobart.The day started with a cruise down the Derwent river to the island, a bus tour over the island, boating along the coast line and sampling some of the local produce.

 A good reason to eat oysters
 

This is the outlook from where we had lunch at the Fudge factory. We sampled all local produce including oysters, smoked atlantic samon, cheese, red wine and fudge. Could do with out the fudge but the rest was really nice. The island also has a large sheep farm that has about 10,000 head and is run by the Aborgines. Lot's of history from there time and the early settlers in particular the whalers.
Was a great day.
