FREYCINET NATIONAL PARK & BICHENO BLOWHOLE

This weekend saw a National Meet of an online photography club I belong to!
Finally I got to go to Freycinet National Park, somewhere I had been really looking forward to exploring. We stayed in Coles Bay overnight, which is an absolutely wonderful spot to stay, and with magnificent views of the Hazards, it also provides a brilliant place to base yourself to visit Freycinet.

Here are just a few of the MANY photos I took over 2 days..

BUSY AT THE DOCKS!

As you can see it was a tad busy down at the Docks this afternoon in Hobart. All 3 vessels below were in dock!

Starting with the MV Orion, who usually travels from Hobart to Antartica. This voyage is 5-star and exclusive, only carrying roughly 100 guests and a crew of 75 - not a bad ratio!

The second image is the HMAS Ballarat who was docked in front of MV Orion. We don't get too many Navy ships here, so they are always interesting to me.

Finally, a regular visitor during summer, the Sapphire Princess. At 952 feet long, she's hard to miss! She can carry up to 2,670 passengers and 1,100 crew!! A beautiful sight to see.
