Fur Seals of Bruny Island

[Ralph]

Had a great time getting these shots and it was a little harder to get as the boat was never still.
It was so good to see these Seals out there nice and free.

They’re gorgeous! How’d you find them? It’s pretty rare here at COOGEE Beach!

This was when we went over to Tasmania. The island we went to has got boat tours out to them.
It is well worth it but it did get cold (well for me it did). I would do it all over again.
And Tasmania is so worth your time to go to I think as I will say it is the prettiest state we have got here.

I’d like another trip. Last time I just had my iPhone so spent my days looking for whiskey distillers

We had 10 days and this wasn't long enough by far.
We had a base camp (a bed and breakfast sort of thing) and each day went in different directions.
This worked out to be a good way of doing things.
We started at Hobart for 5 days then went up to Launceston and done the same thing that end.
Our next time will be for 3 month in the hope to see a third of it, but I know we will still miss so much.

Great job Ralph!

Thank you very much.

Three months holiday is a dream for me, but I can think of very few places Id rather spend it. I visited Hobart and hired a car, doing the same trick as you, but not nearly for long enough.
