Good Friday
Muirs and the fish punts at Constitution docks were doing a good trade as good Friday dinners flocked for their fish. Being neither Christian nor a fan of fish i did not partake!

During the months with Day Light Savings in force the Bellerive Yacht Club runs twilight racing. Pictured here is the start/finish line while the sun sets at the northern end of Mt Wellington
In Defence of Hobart
From the time of the first official white settlement of the Derwent in 1803 there was concern over the possibility of attack by sea amd it was realised that the township could easily be subjected to naval attack.
After many delays the defences of Hobart including Bellerive Battery pictured here were ready in 1885 just in time for a Russian war scare associated with the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. The defences however never fied a shot in anger.
Upper Huon
Just up the road from the old house that i pictured last week is Upper Huon shown here with the huon River Flowing under the bridge.
On a side note, a big shout out to those people who have been emailing telling me how much they enjoy my pictures or giving me the back story on a pictures including:
