Tasmania

Leaving Canberra with a friend's promising farewell 'Tassie is an awesome place' in our ears, we have enjoyed living in Hobart since June 2010. We have also taken the message on the Tasmanian number plate ('Explore the possibilities') literally and walked off a good proportion of 'The Great Walks of Tasmania'. And yes, we agree, Tasmania IS an awesome place!

You can trace our exploration efforts on the map below, highlighting the most memorable places that we have visited:
