Jimena took Ike on several adventures whilst he was staying with her in Tasmania, Australia. The photos on this page are from their boat trip along the Gordon River to the former penal colony on Sarah Island.

Sarah Island is in the southwest corner of Macquarie Harbour, an area only accessible by boat and pounded by the Roaring Forties winds.
Sarah Island was a notoriously harsh penal colony between 1822 and 1833, with a maximum of around 500 convicts at any one time.











Tasmania intrigues me. Magical and impenetrable bush, calm water and steeped in history. What an amazingly beautiful place.
Lovely part of the world. Very like Scotland.
