Tassie

Well we're in Tasmania at the moment and I'm quite glad that we had the chance to come. We stayed in Devonport when we arrived in what looked like a former lunatic asylum from the outside. And when we went to check in it seemed like out suspicions were confirmed! There were the strangest group of people who actually lived there all year round, including quite a few men with mullets and some women who wandered around mumbling. Suffice to say we won't be staying there again. We then travelled to Hobart through the mountains where we got to go out in the snow! Tasmania is a lot like England - green fields and cold weather.
Hobart is quite a nice place but it can't decide whether it wants to be a capital city or a small country town and we've seen a few inbreds wandering around. We're been to the outdoor markets this morning, which are the largest in Australia so that was fun, but I'm looking forward to getting back to civilisation on the mainland.

Its also suprising how quickly the Aussies forget about major sporting events - I don't think the cricket's been mentioned for days (including by Sadler!) and most of them wouldn't even watch the final day of the test!!
