On a four day bus trip in Tasmania. A few photos from day one. Guess where we have been? Started Hobart finished at Somerset tonight
This town has a new aquatic centre and this sculpture of a female swimmer in a circle was unveiled middle of 2024. Sculpture on a sandstone block and surrounded by green lawn. Street sign says Barrack Street and in left part of sign is a mill which should give clue where photo was taken. New place - lots of moulds used for making this delicious food. This sign is in window of viewing area. A mould was used to make this brown coloured dinosaur.

Went for a drive to the Bush Bakery at Leslie Vale then home via #kunanyi #Mt_Wellington

Took some photos of #flowers in bloom including endemic Telopea truncata or Tasmanian Waratah which is very different to the species in New South Wales
Shrub with bright red flowers and small green leaves. In the background are larger trees and bushes. In the far background you can see hills on the eastern shore of Hobart Three red flowers on a scraggly bush. Flowers look like spiders with 10-15 long legs.
