A funny-coloured lake, courtesy of copper in the water. It looked weirder in real life, okay.

Of course, I went back to get my camera.

That's the beach at Sloop Reef in the Bay of Fires. The lagoon to the left is the less interestingly-named Big Lagoon.

A view to the south from near the same spot. I'm a real sucker for the colour blue.

The spectacular Peron Dunes! (it says so in my guidebook)

A surfer dude who gave me a ride dropped me off here so I'd have this view while waiting for my next lift. Gnarly, dude.

My hitching spot on the way out of Coles Bay toward Bicheno. Check out those Hazards.

Mwehk, mwehk, mwehk... that confounded Caped Crusader and his meddling... mwehk.

There's a statue commemorating those brave dogs who, like, stood in a line. Or maybe it's not commemorating them as such.

The Tessellated Pavement! A bit like the Giant's Causeway, I guess, except it looks like something people would make, and the Giant's Causeway doesn't.

I'm not sure what it is in particular about them that earned them the name, but these (it branches inside, I'm assured) are the Remarkable Caves.

And this is Tasman's Arch. The sea has been busy in this neck of the woods.

A guy called Dizzy (bizarre) jumping off a cliff (1.5 Megs)

This is the Paupers' Mess, Lunatic Asylum and Separate Prison, viewed from the Hospital, in Port Arthur.

This is a view from the ruined Penitentiary (a lot of stuff that didn't get wasted in the big bushfire of 1895 did get destroyed in the big bushfire of 1897 - you'd think they'd have learned...) of the Isle of the Dead with a naval frigate (hee hee) near of it. Apparently lots of ships stop in Port Arthur to scrub up and look shiny for their arrival in Hobart, a few short hours' sail away.

The Penitentiary used to be a flour mill, so we're told.

Well now ain't that pretty, in a prison hell sort of a way.

The Isle of the Dead! Woooooo. It was much too sunny to be scary though.
