Tassie - Port Arthur and Cradle Mountain

Oi, they're both doing the "leg" part! No fair!	The Isle of the dead	the boat of the dead tired!	Part of the Port Arthur convict settlement	Home sweet home. Well it used to be.
A native Ozzie bushman and his liquid lunch (it's Peter, me bro')	Playing the fool (at Palmer's lookout - recognise the island?)	Another view of Port Arthur and some wildlife	Ok, here's the real wildlife! Is thata foxxing fur, JoAnn?	Dang, the shoes don't match!
It's party time! Where's the laundry?	One man and his dog - Catherine's herded 2,000 sheep with one dog	Leslie, Roo herder extraordinaire!	Might be a Pademellon actually	Can you spot the dinosaur? This is Cradle Mtn.
And these are cradling each other!	Hour 1 of the 8 hour trek!	Leslie's really happy to take a rest break!

We stayed with Peter and Catherine in Hobart. We didn't take any photos of the Interhash2000 because we were way too busy dancing, running and drinking (anyway, they're making a video).

We visited Port Arthur, where the convicts lived, it's really pretty but life was tough for them. The town is on a spit of land and big dogs patrolled the isthmus. Only one man escaped, Martin Cash, he died of old age as a free man. The dead convicts were buried on the Isle of the Dead (1,300 of them).

We also met up with Catherine's Dad, Peter, a real Gent. We had tea (ok, dinner!) at Hans and Susie's place in the country. It was a laundry party so we dressed for the occasion - they were surprised!

Leslie, myself, Peter and Catherine then went up to Cradle mountain. It's an amazing place!
