discussion, gear, and photography journal
The photos below typify the Tasmanian countryside for me - lots of green rolling hills, and mountains in the distance.
While driving through Tasmania on a recent holiday, we frequently stopped on the side of the road to take photos of scenes such as this.

The first photo was taken in central Tasmania, the second somewhere near the northern end of the Tasman Peninsula (near Eaglehawk Neck), and the third was taken along the west coast of the Tasman Peninsula.
The first image is available for purchase as a high-quality card, matted print, mounted print, canvas print or framed print from redbubble.com.

Great shots Martin! Love the light in the second shot.

How amazing is the castle like structure near where you took the third shot? I'd love to own that place

Wow! I want to go there! That looks like some amazing countryside....what is the climate like there? (temp, moisture, humidity, comfort)

It's a cool-ish climate (although that depends what you compare it to...).

In summer, the average maximum temperature is 21°C, and in winter, it's 12°C. However, temperatures inland can be cooler, and the highlands typically get some snow in the winter.

See Wikipedia for more info on the climate.
