Tasmania the Beautiful

Here are images of a trip we took to the State of Tasmania, a beautiful island off the south coast. Click on image for information. The images of the Gordon River were taken one early drizzly morning but it was wonderful. We had spent the night on a 60ft yacht. Twenty years ago, the Tasmanian Government wanted to dam the Gordon/Franklin Rivers but the Federal Labor Government stepped in and stopped the project. Phew!

Hi Sheila, I found your gallery after spending many hours on the internet trying to find an online Diploma of photography course which I could do. After working as a news photographer full time for nearly two years I recently left that behind to try to develop my own vision of the world. I have a long way to go, but looking at your photographs I am so inspired and I know that I can make it happen. Thank you so much for your inspiration.

Beautiful photographs, and a real consolation as I'm moving to Tasmania (from Melbourne) in 3 days and am feeling the usual doubts that haunt one at such times. All gone now!Thank you.

I am in absolute awe of your photographs. I actually just stumbled into your gallery by chance, and it turned out to be a highlight of my day! Thanks so much for sharing such beauty. Tasmania appears to be much more than I ever imagined... .

You took WONDERFUL pictures of Tasmania. I'm a ten year old girl who is studying Tasmania for my class report.

Hi Sheila :-) more than ten years ago we enjoyed the brillant photos of Peter Dombrowskis at Tasmania who has died some years ago. Since that I'm looking for similair pics of this dream island - and today I found yours. I remember the quality of Peter's ;-)) Thanks for your fantastic shots :-)) Hope to come back to Australia very soon ;-) Sunshine greetings from Germany (yes - there is sun too) Paul www.bossenmaier.de

Your images are rather lovely and I guess I have the luxury of living there. Sometimes this means I do not see the place as visitors do, but recognize the beauty and variety of areas after visiting other states in Australia. I have my own website too with images of Tasmania and other places. Check it out http://www.anneoconnorphotography.com.au I am always happy to help or suggest places to go to that I know about.

Following Dr Terry Hannan's move to Launceston, I was looking for some general information. Now that I have seen your beautiful gallery, I am now making travel plans. Thank you.

Dave Wyman		12-Jan-2005 09:51
Let me add my appreciation - beautiful gallery - thanks for transporting me to such a beautiful land, too.

Moving to Launceston in January. Used this link to show my colleagues in Indiana to show what a wonderful place it is.

Great shots, well taken with a good eye. I travelled to Tasmania in '99 and was amazed by the diversity of the country. I loved the rainforests and the beaches. All great subjects for the photographer. I'll go back one day. John, UK

What an intriguing place. Once many years ago I applied for a job there and mailed an application from the US by regular mail. It took 3 months to get there, which was long after the job had been filled.
