Jane and I were fortunate enough to spend two weeks traveling around Tasmania over Xmas 08/09, with our first week spent with my extended family (namely our relatives from Switzerland), the rest on our own. For the second week, Jane and I were based mainly in North Western Tasmania. That’s when a cold front swept in from the Southern Ocean, resulting in bitterly cold conditions, especially in the alpine regions, including a summer snowstorm (!) as we trekked around Cradle Mountain on New Year’s Day.
Sadly, a “I haven’t used a film camera in over a year” accident when trying to remove my first film of the trip means all the photos from Freycinet and some from Strahan have been lost, hence the lack of other people in any of the photos.
All photos taken with a Nikon F3 using 400 or 100 ISO film and a 28mm Nikkor lens. I think. I couldn’t be bothered checking the specs. Nor have I sorted them into chronological order.
