Fun with sheep in Hobart ☺

Hello again and just look at the man happily sitting on a sheep lol
This was on that Ferry which I have shown a few pictures of and we decided to have a trip on Wednesday over to Mona Museum

Yes I look pretty happy with myself having a seat here lol 

Obviously where the captain sits

The front of the ferry outside the captain's window

There is the floating Brooke street pier now being worked on to open by mid summer

Oh look a cow on board the ferry lol 

Our seats

Just starting to leave the wharf

Off we go with a cool breeze blowing

Really neat view over the cow's back ☺

Just look at these young ones enjoying their view out over the bay from the sheep's back lol 

Approaching the Tasman bridge, which is tall enough to allow all ships under

It was a wonderful smooth ride

Rock cliff face along the bay

I made him get on the cow for this little snap lol 

99, yes 99 steps we had to climb up.....thank goodness my knees were feeling good

This hand reminds me of a cartoon character hand

The building where the museum is inside.....all I can say is, it is very different, and they recommend you have an open mind lol mona museum info no picture from inside as my camera did not go well but we did enjoy the difference and you were given a device just like a smart phone to walk around and read/listen to the description of what you were looking at.....

A large iron concrete mixer truck

Incredible ironwork which it was made up of

The hands were little seats at the bench
We had this great lunch once we got back in to town and this was the entree' size! I had spaghetti pescatore which had NO cream sauce just good seafood and garlic yummo ....he had a chicken/mushroom penne pasta
A good day out and on our walk back to accommodation....

We saw Pinocchio just hanging around in someones window lol
And on the sock news, I got a bit more done last night while watching NCIS ☺☺
Hope  you are having a good time where you are even if at work...
take care and see ya again soon xoxoxo

Fun time out and about

Well look there are those sheep again with a cow in the background on that ferry which we plan to go on today or Thursday.......
Back to normal posting again and adventures here

We have done HEAPS of walking around Hobart and this is the top of the street we are staying in.....

Zoomed down to the grey building at the bottom and look there is where we are staying ☺

No zoom again and amazing hills for sure...

Today (Tuesday) we drove to check out this Antarctic type museum

Antarctica and good old OZ

Old snow travelling sled

Emperor penguin and Adelie penguin



Look at that fancy mouth lol 



The next few pictures were what was around the museum and my canon camera picked them up quite nicely so enjoy ☺☺





Oh who do we have here................

Look at the man trying to control those sled dogs lol 

Noticed 2 brown birds way down in the garden area.....

Zoom


Oh how cute they have a little one with them and found out they are Tasmanian Native Hen



Got to love lots of poppies and today was remembrance day so a special minutes silence at 11

Chinese Mulberry tree

Love its crazy twisted trunk


Entered in here.....

And I can tell you these coolers were blasting some cold for sure....8 degrees Celsius



Just a neat area of Antarctic examples......


Oh boy were there some magnificent herbs at the botanical gardens


Fabulous smell to of so many varieties


Artichokes too

We then went through the conservatory which was about to have a wedding ceremony


Bird of paradise....

Leaving as they guests were starting to gather ☺☺

View from our balcony to Mt Wellington

Zoom shot and did not visit this time, but 3 years ago we did and it cost us a lot as the man's glasses were blown off his face and then he had to get a quick replacement pair......but was a lot of fun lol 

Up on the roof balcony a great view over to the harbour

Another great zoom shot

And a large zoomed shot over to other side of harbour


Beautiful weather we have had even with the chilly breezes

The roof balcony area for all to use

They are going to get a BBQ up here to in the future, currently there is one down on the ground area which we had a group breakfast BBQ feed today ☺

Final zoom over the balcony wall.....
Hope you are still enjoying this trip of ours with more too come....
