A modest start to the Tasmanian trip.
A visit to the Museum of New & Old Art was on the cards so I used the opportunity to have a reconnaisance of the Tasmanian Transport Museum at Glenorchy, knowing it wouldn't be open. The Climax was visible behind barbed wire defences.


An unexpected bonus was the appearance of a 4-loco lashup running light out of Hobart on the adjoining line of whatever TGR is called this week. They came from four different QR classes.

MONA was certainly worth a visit.


and it was a lovely afternoon to stroll around part of old Hobart.

  1. I trust you sampled the delights of Jackman & McRoss bakery while meandering around Battery Point. It looks like it was pretty much where your "Old Hobart" photo was taken from.
