Intrepid Fearless Fortitude Endurance
Intrepid Fearless Fortitude Endurance, none of these descriptive words apply to the two subjects in this photo blog. I’m speaking of course of my brother Warren Herd & his amigo Chris Lockwood, otherwise known as The Wasp & Dr Evil.
The Wasp & Dr Evil were planning their next adventure & decided to follow in the steps of Burke & Wills, sadly they had the map upside down & wound up in Tasmania. They spent a couple of weeks consoling themselves by consuming the local specials including seafood chowder, oysters, steak & kingfish.
The following photos are in no particular order, the shot above is Wineglass Bay north east of Hobart.
Talking about Hobart
This is where they started their trip spending a couple of days with Warren’s daughter Laura & her husband Jordan. That’s little Charli, the eldest of their 2 daughters.
Jorden is a professional musician
Here is Charli helping Dad practice. I guess we should call her “The Little Drummer Girl. 🙂
Wineglass Bay lookout
How cold & bleak does this place look? It was a grade 3′ 40 minute walk to see the great views of Wineglass Bay. The Wasp has now declared that anything over Grade 2 is out!
Bicheno is north of Wineglass Bay
Lunch at The Lobster Shack.
How good does this look?
Chowder & seafood, I bet Burke & Wills never enjoyed food like this. 🙂
Stanly Beach Tasmania
Located on the top left hand corner of the island.
Fresh Tassie Oysters
Tasmanian oysters are sustainably grown and harvested oysters coming from the oyster beds along the north, east, and south-east coasts of Tasmania. They include two different species of oysters, namely the Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas), and the angasi or Australian flat oysters (Ostrea angasi).
Warren claims there were the best he has ever eaten.
Hells gate on the Gordon River
Located halfway up the west coast of the island. Take a cruise, spend two hours on the Gordon River including a guided boardwalk through the Unesco World Heritage Rainforest. Our two lads actually took a 6 hour Gordon River cruise which also included a guided tour of the previous penal settlement on Sarah Island.
Scotch fillet and Yellowtail Kingfish
Not sure where this was, but the food looks terrific.
Launceston Cataract Gorge
Launceston’s own piece of wilderness just 15 minutes walk from the city centre.
Many thanks for visiting my Intrepid Fearless Fortitude Endurance photo blog. I’m sure you are impressed how The Wasp & Dr Evil throw caution to the wind while exploring new frontiers. 🙂
