Hope you've got lots of cards/storage. Plenty to photograph down that way.

Look forward to seeing some shots posted when you're done.

Have a great time.

This is the second time that I have the chance to do this track. Couple of years ago i have done it with Carlos (stooge) on his rangie. Last sunday we done it with Carlos, Justin, and 3 other friends.

In this shots (no PP on them) are 2 unique flowers from Tasmania

This masterpiece is 107 years old, a 3 masts tall ship private owned.
The light and weather was lousy so I selected small parts of the boat to appresiate details on it.
cheers

Thanks for posting. I recognised the green Rangie

That 3 mast is a beautiful looking ship.

Look forward to seeing more shots.
