Such a contrast to the crispy dry foliage of late autumn in southern Australia! Up the hill from Pasir Panjang Village, Kent Ridge Park is lush and moist and teaming with green! In spite of the heat, it was tempting to stay and watch the jungle grow around me. Chocolate the labrador and I were glad of the view at the top of the hill – an excuse to catch our breath. Chocolate was more interested in the ants in the grass than the boats on the harbour!

There’s a couple of towns in Tassie that reckon topiary might put them on the map.

You could bring your own picnic to this little bench with a great view over Binalong Bay…but you’d get a better view and someone else to do the washing up from Angasi Food Store just opposite.

The mist doesn’t diminish the beauty of the wide Tamar River. Makes the stop at Koukla’s (285 Gravelly Beach Road)even better – where else can you find a cheerful second family of Greeks whipping up great home-cooked food at any hour of the day?
