Tasmania Tomorrow!
Its been a bit lonely in Sydney lately, most of the students at the University until classes resume in February, and orientation for my program isn’t until Feb 4th. So I decided that I’d take advantage of the time before orientation to get out my Sydney suburb and go travel a bit. Tasmania is a place that I never made it to last time I was in Australia, and its a pretty short flight from Sydney, so I’ll be heading there tomorrow morning. I’m doing tour with a backpacker tour company, not my preffered method of traveling but its just not economical to rent a car when you’re travelling alone. I’ll be in Tazzy until Feb 3rd, and hope to come back with some good pictures and good stories. One place I’m looking forward to checking out is Port Arthur, a famous penal colony established on Tasmania (Tasmania is an island south of Australia) for its remoteness and isolation (not unlike the concept behind Alcatraz).
