BusTed in Hobart

Hi everyone, here we are out and about in Hobart.
We dropped into the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in the city.
It was stuffed full of stuff and stuffed animals.
A huge display on Antarctica.


It was really interesting, the staff were so informative and super friendly.
The funniest thing, which we forgot to get a photo of, was a stuffed wombat. It was the first dead wombat ever sent back to England for taxidermy, unfortunately having never seen a live one they really had no idea. They stood it proudly up on its hind haunches, like a kangaroo with it's front claws splayed out in a magnificent display of terror.
 It really looked odd.


We played at the Museum for a couple of hours then headed to the waterfront for some fish and chips. Here we spotted this really cool, massive bronze seahorse sculpture.


The fish and chips we got from a boat moored at the Marina.... nice.


Next day we jumped on the bike again and headed off to the infamous Salamanca Markets.


Lots of Music and colourful stalls and people. 


It was a really good morning. Ellen was very happy because look what we found.


Till next time
