This festival took place in Hobart over the weekend. A wonderful collection of wooden boats from tall ships to kayaks, historical vessels to brand new.
Here are just a few photos from the weekend.
The HMB Endeavor, a replica of James Cook’s ship when he charted New Zealand and the eastern coast of Australia between 1768 and 1771.
From Cook’s cabin looking at “James Craig” built in 1874 in England, abandoned in Tasmania in 1930’s, restored in the 1970’s.

I haven’t written here for a while, life has been busy. But I wanted to share the fun we’ve had at work with our Office Elves. It started as a Christmas decoration challenge, with our elf characters placed along the top of a partition.
But the elves have taken on a life of their own, getting up to mischief overnight.
The favourite was when the elves had a party at the photo copier.

“Open House” is an annual event in Hobart, where the public have free access to buildings that we don’t usually get to see.
Last weekend, we joined a tour of Tasmanian Ports Control Tower. It is 36 metres tall and has a unique 360 degree view of Hobart city, waterfront , Tasman Bridge and the Derwent River.
It was designed to oversee the entire port and manage the arrival and departure of all ships. It is still used as the main observation point for all under-bridge crossings and is the office/staff room for the sea pilots.
From the tower, we could appreciate the scale of local timber awaiting export.
