23rd Dec - Jan 1

Hobart, Christmas, Swansea, Bicheno, Boogie boarding, bluebottles, blow-out meals, St Helen's, Bay of Fires, historic houses, windmills, bridges, historic everything. Only the prices were modern.

We took the ferry out to MONA which is on a site surpassing the Sydney Opera House for spectaculararity. Privately owned, and intended to challenge, the collection includes the sublime and the gor blimey, notably the notorious poo machine. That was horrid but everything else pretty damn wondrous.

Our brush with fame - Sydney to Hobart - December 30

Hil's brother in law was a crew member on 'Whistler' so we turned up at Constitution Dock for some vicarious glory.

Afterwards, at the Taste of Tasmania, we sipped our chardies and watched a few more yachts cross the finish line. It was a memorable experience and I hope I remember it.
