In a nutshell, we flew into Hobart, hired a little manual Nissan (I specified a manual because I knew the roads would be fun), and drove around the State in four-and-a-half days.
- Day 1: Hobart to St Helens via the Freycinet Peninsula.
- Day 2: St Helens to Wynyard via Scottsdale, Launceston, Burnie and Somerset.
- Day 3: Wynyard to Strahan via Cradle Mountain.
- Day 4: Strahan to Hobart via Queenstown and Lake St Clair.
- Day 5: Hobart, Richmond and the airport.
It was a superb trip. We missed heaps due to our tight schedule, but we’ll be back.
Enjoy the photos. The slideshow below goes a bit too fast for my liking. To slow things down and see in full screen, go here.
We’re back in Hobart, and tonight’s the first time we’ve had mobile reception since the day we arrived, hence no mobile photos. 
I’ll post all the good ones on Picasa later in the week.
We’ve had a great trip, all the details soon.
We’re on our way to Wineglass Bay then St Helens today.
We’re going to Tassie for the weekend
I’ve neglected this blog in the last few months. Simply, I haven’t felt like sitting down to write posts and share stuff – it takes time and my attention has been on other things. The wonders of modern technology may change that.
My new iPhone 3GS shoots video as well as photos, and the clever people at the various web services I use (i.e. Flickr, Wordpress, Picasa etc) offer all sorts of ways to use them together.
The iPhone video app includes basic editing functionality (simple trimming of the start and finish of your clip, not cut and paste editing), and because I can email that clip to Flickr, which is set to autopost to this blog, the process from my end has changed significantly.
No longer do I have to shoot the video on our “real” video camera, go home, connect the camera to the laptop, edit the footage, export it and upload it to YouTube. To share simple video updates with you I can shoot the video on the iPhone, trim it, email it to Flickr, and Flickr will autopost it here. Straight away. Pretty cool.
The video in the previous post is the level of visual and aural quality you can expect. What do you think?
