Default Tassie Trip!
As requested here are some pictures of our recent trip to Tasmania.

Took Mum over there for a joint Birthday/Mothers Day pressie... was absolutely beautiful weather (except for up in the mountains!) and was a wonderful time of year to go.

Unfortunately my photos just don't do any of it justice, some of the natural sights were just absolutely breathtaking.

Anyway, here we go! http://photobucket.com/albums/y231/tassietrip/

Cheers,
Krys :

Some great shots there FordGirl. We did a Tassie road trip a few years ago, it's an amazing place. I can't wait to go back one day.

Great pictures Krystal. I trust your Mum enjoyed it. My parents went over there a few years ago on the Ferry. Lets just say the Laser TX-3 Turbo 4WD got a fair workout on those twisty roads.
