This part of the Island is more dry than the west coast and the
mountain range. And as a result of this years extreme drought
we were facing again big bushfires that were burning around Hobart
and in the area of New Norfolk - the gate way to Hobart. But not
only that we have been here for the first time, we also brought
the rain with us. At least the fires got under control and we
could enter the urbanity to go sightseeing.

Clockwise: Big Surfshops, Inner city, harbour
Famous through the yachting race Sydney - Hobart this city like
the rest of the island is rather unknown to the european traveller.
But it has it all. Beautiful scenery, old sandstone houses (dating
back to the early 1800s), markets, groovy clubs, great eatery
lovely beaches and - some worldclass surfspots within 20minutes
drive. We took the chance and visited an uncle of mine who came
over to Tasmania 15 years ago and stayed for the love towards
this island. He showed us around and we got a good impression
and understand why he did not want to go back to Europe.
