Wineglass Bay




One of the most famous tourism images from Tasmania is the view over Wineglass Bay from the lookout in Freycinet National Park, on the island's east coast (map below). Below is a classic tourism image. Above is what it looked like in the misty rain on our visit yesterday.

Thanks to the girl in the second photo who took our photo.

(PS I am no stranger to fog, being famous in my family for not having seen The Grand Canyon, the Great Wall of China, and Venice on my first visit through fog. And taking overseas visitors to the Blue Mountains in torrential rain and fog! It's a wonder anyone wants to go on holiday with me!)

  10. haha! when I read what you wrote, I laugh and laugh.

    I am sure the weather has nothing to do with you!

    Hmmm if you can influence the weather, like making it rain, you will be famous! They will be paying first class airfares for you to travel around Aust, and it will rain and everyone will shout Hallelujah!

  11. Sally it was such a wonderful surprise to find this portrait of P. and you in Tassie !

    Yes of course I've seen this classic shot of Wineglass bay many times. Seeing it in a different light with you was enlightening... and your comments about your relation to fog were hilarious.

    Glad you had a great time despite the poor weather. The meal at Coles bay looks scrumptious !
