THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 2007:
After six great days in Sydney it was time to move on to Tasmania. I arrived in Hobart late Thursday morning.
I stayed at the Grand Chancellor Hotel on the harbour. Mount Wellington is pictured below on the right.
I drove to the summit of Mount Wellington Thursday afternoon for sweeping views of the area.

I took a cruise down to historic Port Aurthur on Friday morning.
Many beautiful sea cliffs as we neared Port Aurthur.
The Ruins of Port Aurthur used to harbor some of Australia's worst criminal offenders.

Sunday I drove south of Hobart into the Huon Valley. My first stop was Huon Jet.
The pictures below were taken by the Huon Jet staff of our actual trip.
I drove further south from Huonville to the Tahune Forest Reserve and Airwalk.

MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 2007:
Monday's trip to Bruny Island was a bit of a disappointment. I elected to take the tour bus down to the island.
That was a mistake. The bus was slow, making the trip down and back way longer than it needed to be.
The sea was so rough you couldn't even steady your camera to take a picture. Plus it was bitter cold.
The rough sea was kind of fun making it a bit of an adventure, but it also cut the trip way short.
The rough sea did create a nice blow hole which you can see in the center picture below.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 2007:
On my last day in Tasmania Par Avion flew me to the Southwest World Heritage National Park.
On the way we got nice views of Hobart, Federation Peak and Bathurst Harbour.
After landing at the Bathurst Harbour landing strip with took a boat cruise on the harbour.
After the boat cruise is was back on the airplane for the return flight to Hobart.
This time instead of the inland mountain route we return via the Southwest coast on the Southern Ocean.
We also flew over Bruny Island and the Ironpot Lighthouse where I had been on previous days.
