Tasmania has some cute little village called Ross which come across as very British. There is a small but interesting wool museum in Ross which shows among other things the different qualities of wools in a display that explains it and lets you feel the different wools for yourself.
This is just East of Stanley in the North West corner of Tasmania. It was a beautiful spot with a nice simple camp site which offered a lot of private spots right near the beach.
Same beach but looking in the other direction (to the West). The rock formation you see is called "The Nut" and Stanley is just along it.
I like the little cloud just above the only piece of land which is more than a couple of metres above sea level.
Tasmania has a lot of "alternative" and artistic people. Here is a particularly nice large scale "rock painting" near Derby which was particularly appropriate since it was above a small river known for its fishing, and what a good use of the natural shape of the rock.
Along the North coast there are areas where penguins are plentiful at the time of year when youngs are born.
And in fact there is a small town called Penguin which of course results in all kind of hilarious signs all over town. You also have Penguin Market which I liked a lot too.
On the wild West coast there is a small very isolated village (Trial Harbour) where there is no electricity (apart from solar power), obviously no shops but a fabulous setting with beautiful beaches.
A random view of Freycinet after I left it and was driving north along the fabulous road. I like driving along isolated roads and some of them always stand out as being particularly fabulous. The road between Freycinet and the Tasman Peninsula is one of those.
There are quite a few mountains in Tasmania.
It is safe to say that I love trees.
