If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

in Tasmania: Strahan « Previous | |Next »
February 9, 2010

We are in Tasmania----we arrived in Devonport early this morning. We then drove down to Strahan on the west Coast via Cradle Mountain after I got Telstra prepaid mobile broadband working on an Apple MacBook in Devonport

Tasmania looks so dry. They've had little rain. And it is hot, just like Adelaide and Melbourne. Strahan looks rather tacky---as if it has suffered from the global financial crisis re the down turn in international tourism. There are lots of places for sale and empty cleared blocks. However, currently there is little surplus accommodation.

Since Suzanne prefers Strahan to Queenstown, it looks as if Strahan will be our base for several days. So I will make daily photographic trips to Queenstown to explore the architecture and the denuded landscape from the old Mt Lyell mine.

Queenstown's acid rain hillsides are not what they were, not like I remember them. And not like friend's who grew up there remember— The metallic bubbles floating down the river.

Has the theatre got it's roof back on? It blew off the other day.

Don't forget to check out Trial Harbour, or Granville Harbour out of Strahan.

You'll get there and say, 'What Harbour?"

meika,
thanks for that.The vegetation is definitely growing back on the hills around Queensland. I won't have time to visit Trial Harbour, or Granville Harbour, north of Strahan. We are making our way to the Midlands via some photography in Queenstown.
