| The light at Low Head near George Town on the north shore of Tasmania, fronting the Bass Strait |
| Low Head is home to a thriving colony of Little Blue Fairy Penguins. If you look hard you can see the penguin chick in its burrow |
| The penguins don't mind the presence of people moving slowly, calmly and quietly, nor dim red or yellow lights |
| Just after dark, the penguin adults wash out of the sea and waddle up the beach through sandy paths in the thorn scrub to find their own chick's burrow |
| The penguin chicks grow larger than the adults on an easy diet of regurgitated fish. When the parents return, the welcoming calls are something to hear! |
| Fairy Penguins, fresh Cherries, Raspberries and Blueberries, WOW... Add the lavender farms and you've got summer in Tasmania!!! |
| Bridestowe Lavender Farm is renowned for its excellent products and also for its cultivation techniques. Curvy rows of lavender plants grace the hillsides. |
| And ANOTHER waterfall of Tasmania, this is St Columba Falls |
| On the east coast of Tasmania, near St Helen we hiked for 4 hours looking for a shortcut return! But it was so beautiful a day we hardly cared. |
| The whole time hiking this peninsula we saw only one old salt and his dog. |
| The shore of the NE coast is granite boulders splashed with bright orange lichen |
| A path to Binalong Bay at St Helen |
| The pure white, silica sand of Binalong Bay Beach is the most dazzling of all we've seen--and we've seen a lot! |
| Tasmanians claim Binalong Bay Beach in the Bay of Fires is the 2nd most beautiful beach in the world, but we think they're being too humble |
| Captain Bob getting his ocean fix |
| We couldn't get enough of the coastal scenery around the Bay of Fires |
| Same ocean, same coast, just deeper ocean |

| One night we drove forest dirt roads outside of St Helen looking for wildlife, and found this frisky Eastern spotted quoll ! |
| On the Foreshore Hiking Path near Bichon, midway on the eastern coast, a pair of SIlver gulls on the granite boulders lining the shore |
