Tourists who were attending the oceanic wine-themed carnival on the Wing Glass Bay!

Have you been wondering how much more taste a glass of wine could offer?

13/11/2014--St Helens

Bay Of Fires---As been seen, the weather were playing naughty for us when these photos were taken. But, you could imagine what dramatic a fire front it could be when the whole bay turns to bright red in the broad sunlight!

Fires on the bay caught when the sun shone for a few minutes!

We accidentally wandered into a hidden bay beyond St Helens' point that far, far less frequented by tourists, and we ended up being lost in the bush for about 40 minutes before we found our way back! But, we found somewhere spectacular--The photos will speak for themselves!

A little treat after our struggling in the bush!

14/11/2014---On the way to Bridestowe lavender farm, in Nabowla!

By no means would we knock Bridestowe Lavender Farm visit off my travel itinerary even though we were told the lavender is not in blossom yet!

Rumor has it that the CEO of the lavender estate has dropped his original plan of not exporting the lavender bears to China. He has decided that this estate will be doing much better in China's huge market after president Xi JinPing's Tasmania trip!

But, there has been some concerns about what damage this might do to this estate's tourist industry! Well, there will always be two sides to every coin, won't it?

The pruning's well done.
The soil looks dry and sandy; the row spacing is very much generous.

Plus lots of sunlight and cool climate, everything is just right for lavender.
Fabulous shots, yping. I could see clearly every detail of it. I always think of having a close look at the lavender farm (my friend's been there, too). It's now right in front of my eyes. I assume I don't have to make a trek over there. Ah, haaha

A big thank you for bringing the marvelous snapshots on.

14/11/2014--Launceston

It gave me an impression that this city, second to Hobart in Tasmania, must be full of history. But, it was a shame I was running out of time to learn it when I was there!

yping88 · 发表于 4-5-2015 22:32:29

These photos serve to tell a little bit story about how Launceston lays itself out around a river and sprawls comfortably up to the hills!

City Park in Launceston--Wish you could find the soothing effect presented in the following pictures when you need to seek comfort!

Cataract Gorge in Launceston!

15/11/2014--In Devenport, awaiting boarding Spirit of Tasmania!

It took us about two and half hours being reduced almost motionless in a huge bikie parade to finally check in into our cabin! Being fascinated by the seemingly endless bikie crowd, I couldn't help but wonder if, somewhere in a company or factory, the working force was experiencing a dramatic staff shortage!

yping88 · 发表于 10-5-2015 20:36:02

So long, beautiful Devenport!

Farewell, friendly Devenport people!

Tasmania, I believe that there are a thousand reasons for us to keep coming back to your warm, open arms again and again!

Spirit of Tasmania sailed its return journey into an amazing sunset!

I am well aware that every story has to come to an end, no matter how beautiful the journey is or how much you enjoy telling it!

The comforting fact is that our Tasmania adventure ended in a spectacular sunset!!!

Thank you all for keeping me company along this expedition, actually, your presence is my main inspiration to hang in there and make it to the finish line!

Wish you all enjoyed it!
