I've been in Tasmania for two weeks now; visiting friends in Launceston and camping on the east coast travelling down to Hobart and Bruny Island. I suppose the next few posts will be sort of like a re-cap. I've always hated doing that in diaries/blogs but I feel like I have been collecting a lot of information over my recent travels and have had the urge to write but couldn't really afford the time.  I suppose that happens when you're travelling and staying with people; you're living day to day seeing and doing lots of new things but don't necessarily have a lot of time to collect your thoughts and reflect.

I travelled with my friend Georgia for the first week and a half. She is a photographer so I quite often rely on her to document places when we are travelling somewhere together. It's probably a bit lazy on my behalf but I enjoy being able to just experience the place and the moment without a camera in my hand (but still knowing that someone will have photographically captured some part of it for me). I do take my own photos in certain places and more so when I am on my own. Looking at Georgia's photos I can feel differently about the place we might have been to. You are seeing someone else's view for a moment and it may not necessarily be the same view that you recorded or exactly the way you remembered it. I will indicate when I am posting Georgia's photos on this blog.
