Southern Tasmania – a photo diary
The International Cool Climate Conference in Hobart wrapped up yesterday and I head up Tasmania’s east coast today. I’m told it’s gorgeous but, I must say, the south has been a feast for the eyes! And of course the palate. Here’s a photo diary to give you a feel for my week.
