The town of Launceston, taken from near the mouth of Cataract Gorge.

And that's where I'm going.

A place with the stupendously cool name of Deadman's Hollow.

Taken upstream from a suspension bridge near the old power station, the corner the stream takes in the distance there has the stupendously silly name of Deadman's Knob.

This plaque is part of the hostel I'm staying in - J.W. Pepper, better-known as the cantankerous red-neck Sheriff from Live and Let Die and The Man With the Golden Gun, makes good!

This is a stuffed Tasmanian tiger, which are extinct (unless you believe the crazy people). This particular specimen was snared in 1912 and purchased by the museum the same year for one pound (the cost of a new rifle in them days).

This is, of course, a statue of William Russ Pugh, who as we all know is most famous for being credited with the first use of ether for surgical purposes in the southern hemisphere.
