Postcard from Hobart

A recent trip to Hobart was mostly spent in conference and drinking far too much pinot noir.

We had dinner at Salamanca where we discussed all manner of secret women’s business, wandered down to a wine bar to discuss everything else until closing, we didn’t go to the casino.

Apparently on a Wednesday night the casino closes at 2am.

Fact.

Anyway I did manage to go for a walk on my free morning…

The parks around the city are very English
A stunning tree mostly because of the lushness of the flowers on the bare branches
I saw a few of these trees - all had more flowers than the one in the park

I love a city with a little relief - yes that's Mt Wellington.

Hobart is lovely.

It has a real country town feel.

In winter, the streets are almost deserted.

Tourist precinct shops close midweek and the city has a sleepy feel even when the weather is gorgeous.

I could live there… until it rained.

Two days in Sydney

1 Comment

Following my last post, after two days in Sydney I can no longer fit into my daughter’s size 5 jeans (size 5 is about a 9 in real language).

A pork roll from James’s favourite cheap lunch spot.

Lasagne!

At least I have avoided all the yummy pastries from the (count them) five gorgeous bakeries that surround our hotel.

The food in Sydney is cheap and delicious and so difficult to not eat.

The first night we went to a little Vietnamese place in Surry Hills (or was it Darlinghurst) called Phamish.

They started serving at 6pm and there was a queue waiting to be seated (including us).

The highlight – the to-die-for duck and prawn rolls – watching mum eat one and then realise they had prawns in them was priceless.

We’ve also gone to see Wicked – the musical.

Clever story, great music and amazing set and costumes.

We had a brilliant time.

Last night I went with my sister to the Cinema Verona to see an Italian film called I am Love – starring Tilda Swinton.

The Italians have a very different approach to film making – lots of loud crashing music and close ups.

Good film though.

And walking down Oxford St late at night was fun too.

Today… I’m not sure what we’re doing… something touristy before the exhibition opening probably.

Then drinkies and art.

Photos to come.

Crawley Boathouse

The Crawley boathouse

Today I wandered towards the Crawley boathouse and the Eliza statue for a bit of a looksee.

On Saturdays you struggle for space as the jetty out to the old boathouse is groaning under the weight of bridal parties keen for those “special shots”.

(or maybe not so special as there are A LOT of brides who get the boatshed shots)

But have you ever wondered about the boat that lives inside the boathouse?

Me too.

Afterward I wandered back to Neds for a coffee and then had lunch with an archaeology friend.

She is so enthusiastic about archaeology that it is impossible not to be inspired, so afterwards I enquired about post-graduate diplomas.

It’s a “next-year” project if it ever happens but I confess that some of the units do look very interesting.

And oh! The excitement of field trips. I loves it.

Hmmmm.

We’ll see.

Coast

So I flew up to Geraldton the other week and as I flew up the coast past our fair city I noticed what appeared to be – I don’t know – oil slicks? – emanating from the land.

Sewage slicks?

Freshwater creeks?

They were all along the coast but stopped once we got past civilisation.

Geraldton 2008

I love this photo – my two gorgeous ones laughing and enjoying being kids on a swingy roundabout.

Where is the fun in that I ask you???

As slack as all shit.

Yes that’s me… but in my defence I did travel a lot last week.

Giant Ram at Wagin

This is the Giant Ram in Wagin, home to the Wagin Woolarama.

I thought it would be a fun little detour but it added HOURS to our journey.

Still at least I got a photo of me next to some giant ram’s balls.

And that doesn’t happen every day.

I stayed down at Middleton Beach near the site of the hotel I got engaged in (Easter 1992). The old hotel has been bulldozed now for some time and as you can see from the silent sock protest, the locals are not happy.

I had a quiet little walk around Middleton Beach, the moon was out and it was still light. Some mad buggers were swimming in what looked like freezing water.

I walked on, not tempted.

There is something magical about the light in Albany.

Burning off

Farmers are burning off their stubble this time of year (does anyone know why they do that?) and the result is a misty, eerie light as you drive back to Perth.

And that’s what I love about travelling on my own.

Full control of the sound system – I can listen to whatever daggy music or podcasts I like without any interference or groans.

And I can stop whenever I want to take photos – or not stop at all should I choose.

Albany Windfarm

On a recent trip to Albany I went down to the windfarm – about ten minutes out of town or so – to check it out.

The turbines are impressively big.

The whooshing noise they make impressively loud.

Me and the Queen

I’m listening to Corrine Bailey Rae’s Put Your Records On, it’s just the perfect Sunday morning track. 

Me and the Queen

This morning we wandered down to the port to check out the Queen Mary 2, the largest passenger liner in the world.

Three times the size of the Titanic, the ship dwarfs the Fremantle Passenger Terminal.

Queen Mary 2

We couldn’t get too close and so it wasn’t that interesting an experience if I’m honest.

Still you never know, one day I might even go on a cruise, you know, when I’m old enough.

Probably around the time that I give up dying my hair and own my own zimmer frame.

And in fact perhaps the view from the ship itself is somewhat more interesting… this is a still from their webcam up on the bridge (click on the image to get an up to date photo):

Tonight we have another night of Theatresports.

This time we’re making the kids come along and watch.

Payback for all those concerts of theirs we sat through.

It will be interesting to see their reaction.
