Tasmania Pics

Post by Bob Connor » Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:39 pm

After seeing Arnts photo's from home I thought I'd post a few pics of where I grew up.

Lets see a few pics of where you blokes and ladies inhabit.

I lived in Tassie for almost 40 years before moving to Victoria so I still consider myself a Tasmanian and love the place. Population of around 500,000 and the island itself is about 200 miles square.(triangular)


Gum Tree in the Arve Valley Southern Tasmania. A few back and side sets in this one.

Looking back in to Wineglass Bay on the East coast.

Friendly Beaches on the East Coast. There were about 10 people there this day.

Hobart from Mount Wellington. The far left of the pic just behind the second stretch of water is where Rick Turner hangs out when he's in Tassie. The green paddock at the base of the mountain is where I grew up.

Blackwood Country

Hop Fields in the Derwent Valley. MMM beer.

Barnbougle Dunes. Yep. That's the mother of all bunkers right on 230 from the tee box. You can see four people standing on the green above it.
