Wineglass Bay Tasmania

1 Reply

Ah, Wineglass Bay.  Among the most beautiful spots in all of Australia.  Rated as the 4th most important thing to do / see in Australia, according to Australian Traveler.  This may be the only thing I do in the top 10 while living here.

We stayed at Freycinet Lodge, rather rustic, but charming all the same.  Took the 2 hour up, and 1 hour down trip to the lookout, overlooking this site.  A bit challenging climb, but very rewarding in the end.

Great Southern Ocean

We have traveled to Tasmania twice this year – what a great place!!!  Very pretty, the people are great, and there is a distillery in Tasmania that I absolutely love!!!  Lark makes some really cracking single-malt.  I’m getting away from the point though.

This is on Bruny Island, a small island just on the south side of Tasmania.  There’s really not much there, but it does house one of Australia’s finest bays – Wineglass Bay.  This photo is just south, right along the Bruny Neck, overlooking the Great Southern Ocean.

The Golden Buddhas

It’s been nearly a year since I last posted. It’s not a lack of photos. It’s just a lack of time to post.  So, my early New Year resolution – more photos, more posts.

This is at the Grand Palace in Bangkok.  I didn’t count how many buddhas there are in the Palace, but it must be in the hundreds.  It’s a fantastic place to visit. However, I don’t recommend going in the middle of the day. During that time, it’s in the 30’s C / 90’s F and about 90% humidity.  It would be much better to visit in the late afternoon or early evening. The sun starts to go down then. You can enjoy that nice, soft evening glow on everything.
