Yeah, yeah — everything comes to an end eventually. Even the endless stream of photos taken in Tasmania. This is the last album, so you can breathe a sigh of relief.
This one’s more themed than chronological. It’s got pics from both the first day and the last. So, what’s in it?
Mostly stuff built by convicts. Tasmania — or Van Diemen’s Land as it used to be called — was basically the British version of a gulag. They shipped convicts over and used them as labour on farms and construction. Some of that happened on the mainland too, but not as much. That’s why Tasmania has so many 19th-century buildings, bridges, and churches built in proper English style. Like the quirky "Spiky Bridge", for example.
We visited the historic prison in Richmond — a pretty grim place. One interesting thing about prisons back then: the guards weren’t professionals. They were reformed convicts themselves. One of them had even been a pirate in his younger days.
There are also shots of churches and the charming little town of Deloraine. Nothing particularly special about it, but it’s got that old English vibe. I also had a bit of fun with an infrared camera. Oh, and that iron sculpture in one of the pics? It’s a letterbox. Tasmanians love to outdo each other with the funniest or most original mailbox out by the road.
And finally, we made it to Devonport and caught the Spirit of Tasmania back to good old Victoria. The ferry arrived in Geelong right at sunset — perfect timing for a few nice shots.

Да, да, всему когда-то приходит конец. Даже неисчислимому количеству фотографий, снятых в Тасмании. Это последний альбом, так что можете вздохнуть с облегчением.
