Thanks Alan, beautiful home with an interesting history. We had a great tour of the house and loved the downstairs part where the antiques are sold.

Here is a interesting boat. Can you tell me where we were when we saw it, and it's history for anyone who does not know, but might be interested.

Hi guys

Cannot believe it. but I am in the areas as we speak.....The story of Cartela starts with a race. Around southern Tasmania at the turn of the 1900's, Around southern Tasmania at the turn of the 1900s, most commerce and communication was reliant on estuary and coastal shipping.  As the most reliable form of transport a class of small coastal steamer was the preferred method of contact. A class of vessels that was commercial in function, designed for a mix of freight and day passengers. Relatively shallow draught, suited to serve from exposed jetties in choppy seas. A keenly fought race called the **** of the River was held every Christmas day. A forty mile dash from Hobart to Green Island and return with as many passengers as could be crammed on board. The prize, a copper and bronze rooster to be carried at the mast heads of the winning steamer and first choice of the more lucrative jobs arising in the port over the next twelve months. It was a matter of great prestige to carry the ****.

Conscripted at just 18 (months) in August 1914, Cartela would have her own part to play.

It looks like the Beaconsfield mine where they had the mine collapse and from memory they managed to get two out but another died.

Thanks Gwynnie, I hope you are enjoying your tour of Tassie. Now this Jetty is in the south of the country so who can name it or the National park it resides in.

Where is this.jpg

I'm thinking that is the pier at Stenhouse bay in the Innes Nat. Park in SA. Ironically I have a similar pic on my desktop for the next time I win PTP
