Tasmanian Cheese Signs

Cheeses from the Australian island of Tasmania feature on our supermarket dairy shelves.
King Island is offshore from Tasmania in Bass Strait but still is regarded as Tasmania.

Delectable in salads
Delightful alone

Butterfly Spirit

An example of some metal art I purchased some years ago at the Tasmanian Copper and Metal Art Gallery, Carrick.
The original artist Mirek Marik (who made the above butterfly) has passed on his skills and knowledge to his son Tom, who will continue the family history.
To display it well with shadows, I have added it to my black candelabra shape.

Gunpowder Mills

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Last week I posted an overview of the Penny Royal Museum in Launceston, Tasmania. Here is another perspective.
These replicas of 19th century gunpowder mills are set into a towering rocky cliff face.
(Maybe not a vintage postcard but represents a vintage scene!)
