Tasmania

Tasmania The moment I set foot on that beautiful isle I felt so at home I just had to smile Like going back in time and still so pristine My heart skipped a beat and set the scene Such contrasting landscapes to behold Nothing to dislike not even the cold Windswept beaches to snow capped peaks Fish laden lakes and mountain creeks With rainforests among the oldest on earth I treasured my time there for all it was worth I knew when I left there I would come back again I did to my new home forever to remain

I lived at 10, High Street, in Launceston, but enjoyed the wild and beautiful beach at Bicheno, but that was over 50-years ago and I would not like to see how it has changed . . . .

50-odd years ago, there was no one at Bicheno, except when visited by abalone fishermen. One of my favourite photos is of the polished stones on top of tiny sand dunes - proof that neither man nor beast disturbed them. Now I live in Hawai'i! Aloha!

Hi Rico, that would have been amazing - I know there has been growth in the towns and cities but I like to think that other areas are still relatively untouched - Bicheno as you know is a very popular place. I lived on the NW coast - where are you located now Rico?
