Back to The Tamar River and George Town, Tasmania. Australia.
Stopped to take a shot of the river plus the Batman Bridge from the side of the road. The bridge is that white thing in the middle of the photo.
George Town is on the Eastern side of the Tamar River and at the mouth of the river. It's a much tidier town than it used to be, new buildings and a big play area for the children are being redone.
Once a fast a wave piercing Catamaran ferry sailed from George Town to Sydney, Port Welshpool to be exact but that trip was abandoned after several sails due to loss of income and sea sickness. The ferry was called the 'Devil Cat' which was built in our State Capital, Hobart by Incat who have built many catamarans and sold them to overseas buyers.
There are a few photos of the Devil Cat online in Google images.
A última fotografia está espectacular.

Thank you, it's a lovely view that last photo.
Deletewow What a beautiful town! Those pictures are breathtakingly beautiful, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie.
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteFantastic pictures. Great to see these skies.
Picture 3 is very nice.
Greetings, Marco
Thanks Marco.
DeleteМне понравились облака.
ReplyDeleteОчень величественно.
Good cloud formation that day, always different they are.
DeleteThank you for yet another delightful photo trip.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome EC, pleased you can come along on these trips of mine :)
DeleteWhen I see these pictures I feel an absolute need to travel...
ReplyDeleteItchy feet, I reckon there are many people in this world with itchy feet.
DeleteLooks like a great visit from your photos, Margaret. The third one is beautiful with the clouds seemingly suspended above the water.
ReplyDeleteGood clouds, it pays to look up to the sky for it's always changing especially when clouds are there.
DeleteWater and sky are dominant in your pictures. Bridges come with the water, clouds with the sky.I enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteThanks Duta. It's a pleasure to be able to take photos of the water and sky seeing I live in an area with both about and within this Island.
DeleteLovely photos
ReplyDeleteJo-Anne.
DeleteBellas imagenes. Me encanta esa playa desierta
ReplyDeleteThanks. Plenty of beaches here with no onw or not many people on them, even in summer the beaches are not packed.
DeleteAn especially flavorful post. You make it seem like a fine place to be.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those that live there love it, I don't mind it either.
DeleteI remember that ferry and you filled in the details of why it is no more very well. George Town is terrific and one cafe at least does coffee and service very well.
ReplyDeleteI recall you went there and enjoyed.
DeleteWent for a tour on that catamaran at George Town for it was open to the public but never sailed on it. Was called the sickcat whilst operating.
Robot Days have changed to Thursday and Friday now.

DeleteOh really! Wonder how many times I've comment on posts and closed the tab without looking over the years..
And not a swan or a duck in sight!
ReplyDeleteNo, not one and never saw any in the George Town area, never saw any in the Tamar River either but they probably live more in the wetlands of the Tamar River.
DeleteBeautiful photos of the river and George Town. We too have our own George Town which is the capital city of Penang Island in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteThank Nancy. Oh I didn't know you had a George Town, but do now so thanks for telling me.
DeleteLovely skies reflected across the water.
ReplyDeleteWas a good day for reflections which makes the photos more interesting.
DeleteLas fotografías son una preciosidad. Besos.
