I hope the quest to find Tazzie Tigers is fruitful, it will be another odd creature to add to the collection.CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-15025155136344244862014-10-20T01:24:58.356+11:002014-10-20T01:24:58.356+11:00I am so glad to watched it, Cherie.

A cancer swept through them a few years back and is still raging. Over three quarters of the devil population has died and we have 'insurance' groups now on the mainland trying to breed up again. Note that there are no foxes in Tasmania. The Guvmunt here has spend millions of bucks and a decade on a fox-eradication program despite there never having been as much as a sighting. Greenie jobs for the boys in the bush and the girls in the office. I posted a piece on that some while back.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-11648927310993177002014-10-20T01:17:38.761+11:002014-10-20T01:17:38.761+11:00The long video was worth watching.

But here I am and the supplies keep arriving on schedule: I keep dispensing. But the 'wound' is healed and I can carry my cross, my mop (for the crypt floor) and my towel for keeping the bar-tops clean.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-72798132783191826892014-10-19T14:49:17.779+11:002014-10-19T14:49:17.779+11:00And then God placed YOU there...not by accident I ...And then God placed YOU there...not by accident I think...:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-23419208007675416072014-10-18T11:32:58.259+11:002014-10-18T11:32:58.259+11:00The long video is long, but worth it.

All of Europe condensed into one modest Island, and a but more thrown in too (the rainforests). The north is most like England with its small, lush, green farms, but with a backdrop of quite majestic mountains. The south has pockets of 'hobbit' country with narrow lanes winding between hills and a view that changes by the half-minute; and further south still and south-west is totally unexplored wilderness. The beaches are beautiful and one can find long stretches of fine, white sand, several miles long, with not a soul on them but yourselfAmfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-1604297931755519482014-10-18T01:29:24.659+11:002014-10-18T01:29:24.659+11:00That was lovely.

Strangely, north over the border was not the same - we felt little affinity with NSW. More actually with Qld.<br /><br />Northern shore of Tassie was in tune with Melbourne, Launceston was a strange place, I liked the lakes in the middle, not crazy for the western fjords - too many tourists but Hobart and lower were my favourites, Ross, way down south too.<br /><br />Think NZ south island might be nice - only know Auckland and not impressive. Were I on the boat, methinks I'd go between Port Phillip Bay and the harbour at Hobart.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.com
