Tasmania is Australia's smallest, least populated (but most elderly populated) state. It's so far south that careless map-makers tend to leave it of simple maps.
But Tasmania is, I believe, the nation's jewel, and I plan to use my newly installed slide show to show you the bits of it I like most.
Currently, you're seeing Mt Roland and its environs. It's the place to which we return each year, and the actual mountain makes a sort of exclamation point at the end of the bluff, gaunt Western Tiers. It, and the highland town of Sheffield (seen with some of its beautiful painted walls) marks the end of the rolling greenlands, and the start of the snow on the way to nearby Cradle Mountain.
The shed, by the way, is typical of many found right around Tassie. Farmers just don't seem to see any need to pull them down before the sort-of melt away.
Wife Dorothy was born in Tasmania and I spent much of my youth there.
