Hi Guys well as most of you know by now Alice and I arrived back from Tassie Saturday evening, and after sorting through the 100's of Pics we took, I though I would share some of them with you.

There is no real order in them, but are just a selection of the ones that I thought you may enjoy.

Leon :thumbsup:

Nice images of your holidays Leon,
Just wondered what the story was with taking your little dog across on the boat, did it have to stay in the van. Also how long is the trip over on the boat.

Regards
Trevor

Great set of pics, and I have to ask, what exactly did the 'billy bag' place sell??

Thanks Guys for your interest, and Andrew, that Billy Bag shop, or what ever you want to call it sold everything imaginable, not food stuffs, but new and old stuff, and trash and treasure stuff, a very en- lightning experience, I might add.

OOPS, you drove that old Chevy thru the river in the Boags adverts didn't you? And you came out the other side in the SS.
Is Cadbury mad at you? :D

Nice pics mate, thanks for sharing.

Hey John, Hi mate, gee it was so good to meet with you, and Anna, we had a great trip, those mountains, :scared::scared: but sadly it ends so quick. :sadeyes:

Looking forward to our new adventure, maybe we will camp next to you again. ;)

Hey Leon!
First time to say hello to you.:hi:

I bet the only disappointing aspect of the holiday was that it wasn't long enough.
I went to Tassie a few times in the mid 70's. Beautiful cold place.:cold:

The pic of the bridge, I think I was told in the dim dark past that it was the first bridge to have been built in Australia of any substance. The bricks were hand made by convicts.

The pic of "Teeko :rundog: and the vicious guard dog", Where's the vicious guard dog?????:D:confuse2:

Dark clear skies to you Leon

Marty PS enjoyed the pics.

Good holiday shots. You obviously had a great time Leon. Did you have any trouble finding caravan parks that accept pets (your dog that is!:lol:)?
From one of your pics. it seems as if you did some free-camping too.:campfire:

Seems like the weather held up for you. Any good sky watching?

Rob, Actually there are plenty of pet friendly camp grounds, and we really didn't have any trouble doing the things we wanted with a small dog, he is quite comfortable, and likes staying in the van if necessary, if we wish to go some where were he can't go.

That's good to know Leon. We have a larger dog, Curly-coated Retriever, who is now 14 y.o. We can't kennel her any more while we are away, so she comes with us and lives in the caravan too. Only problem is that we can't visit National Parks! Leaving the dog in the car or van on a hot day is not possible. She doesn't mind us being away for an hour or so but a full day's excursion would be too much.
Ah, the things we do for our dogs!:love:

Mt God, its raining here.:rain:
