A popular drinking establishment, Knopwood's Retreat was named after Rev Knopwood who was in Hobart in its foundation years.

Beware: More Wooden Boats at the Festival

Wooden Boat Festival Time Again

It is always a joy to me to come out and enjoy the wooden boats. There is something in my heart that says "I'd love to have one" but then my brain kicks in saying "Too much like hard work to maintain". So here are my selection of pictures for the lovers of the wooden boat and a special tribute to the dedicated people who tend, care and love them enough to make sure they are still around for us to admire. Thanks! :-)

First came the Parade of Sail

More next time....
