| This window at Don Heads captured my interest. |

| Visited the charming village of Sheffield the week before the big Mural Festival so the town was somewhat quiet. There is a superb shop that make hand crafted glass marbles and other beautiful glassware. Here the fellow is busy creating something. |

| Stopped at Deloraine for a lunch break beside the Meander River |

| The Great Lake is currently the great puddle. With global warming, the rainfall has dropped to drought conditions and the lake is lower than its ever been. Tasmania has its Hydro electric power generated from the waters from this lake and we are currently in dire straits due to the lack of water. If only we had a government who could actually look further forward than the next election and make sure we have alternative power sources. The sun shines a lot down here and we are an island in the roaring 40's so perhaps we could look at wind power or tidal power. Common people, its not rocket science!!! |
