Tassie Christmas: The Other Shit

7 Jan

Tassie really is the best place in the world. If you disagree I’ll spike your water with Bhut Jolokia.

I had such a ball down there at Christmas doing stuff and things. I thought the best way to sum up all the non-chilli related experiences would be to simply caption some photos. Enjoy!

Good times were had at the Great Lakes Hotel. Got pretty loose, ate roo rissoles and wasted a million bucks on fucking Irish bingo.

The highlight of any Tassie trip are these bastards! I got this one for free at Bronte Park General Store because it was 2 days old - score!!!!

This needs no caption. Even though this is a caption.

Quite nice conditions on Great Lake. That’s Mad Dog out on the point.

    Take me back to the shack now. Tom was up there this weekend and it was so warm he was swimming in the lake.
