Clare & Rob's Tasmania Trip: 2006

The great island of Tasmania south of the Australian mainland is often left off tourists' itineraries. Those that do make it there find it very worthwhile. Clare had never been to Tasmania, so during a break in work we decided to head south and explore the island state for a couple of weeks
