More photos from the oldest Prison in Hobart. These are leftover photos I forgot to publish during my first visit to Hobart. Check out my first post about this prison from 2007.
Pierre-em and I went 4WD’ing in his mighty Feroza on the weekend.
The first section of terrain was also one of the trickiest. We actually got stuck a few minutes before I took this photo but thankfully Pierre-ems skilled driving (ie: he planted it while in reverse) we managed to get it un-wedged 
The driving was much more leisurely from there on and despite a few bangs and bumps going over some of the bigger crests it was all smooth sailing
And here’s a short video clip from the end of our journey and back onto a real road!
I’ve been fishing through my families old photo albums and found the following photos of the Manorburn dam from the past that some of you may find interesting.
From left: Lynn McArthur, Ronald Hellyer, Pamela Hopkins, John Hellyer, Ken Hellyer and Robyn Reid on the central basin of the Manorburn dam in 1954. The hand writing is courtesy of my Nana.
From left is Ronald Hellyer, Ken Hellyer, some random guy, Phylis Hellyer and John Hellyer on the Manorburn dam in 1952.
Ken Hellyer. I think this is the Manorburn dam, but I'm not entirely sure which part. It may have been somewhere else, but I'm not sure where that would be. I'm guessing this is some time around 1970.
Ken Hellyer on the Manorburn dam. I'm guessing this is some time around 1970.
This is my brother Scott Hellyer on the tiny ice cube they called a rink which sat beside the Manorburn dam. This would have been around 1984 I think.
And this is Scott demonstrating why I'm the one who's still skating!
The following is a panorama I created a long time ago of Toko Mouth. It was originally created with an old film camera of my mum’s and since the film was her’s, she never let me chop them photos up and turn them into the panorama I was trying to create. Scanners weren’t readily available back then, but thankfully she let me borrow them to scan recently, and here is the final product in all it’s glory … albeit many years later than I had intended!
Oops! It seems these are not the photos I thought they were. These are photos taken by my Mum. The ones I was thinking of were probably on my own camera. Sorry Mum!
And here’s the original file.

Thanks to Gene for letting me take a photo of his arm

This friendly cocotu came to visit us at the Woods’s home just out of Hobart in Tasmania.
