HOBART REGATTA

Yesterday was a public holiday here in Hobart for the annual Hobart Regatta. Last night the finale included a fireworks display and then a dump and burn from an F1-11 that had made the trek from Amberley Airforce Base in SE Queensland (note - don't try and take photos through the fence at this base - I went to and noticed the signs, it's a HUGE no-no!).

The F1-11 took a southerly approach and flew low across the city before ascending into the sky after passing over the Tasman Bridge. It was an unbelievable site and I'm sure there are many Tasmanians who might have never seen one of these before!

RECHERCHE BAY

On Saturday we decided to get in the car and drive! Drive as far south as we could go ..

Nearly 2 hours later we arrived at Cockle Creek at Recherche Bay. As you can see it's absolutely well worth the drive. Camping here is extremely popular, with pit toilets available and the sites are free.

Well worth the drive!
