[Leica] IMG: Some scenery for those Northern Hemisphere folks

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Ummm thanks for looking, I think. In fact the area does have a rich history 
of exploration and activity from the days of the sailing
ship. Britain, France and the Dutch of course were prominent in the European 
visitors to Tasmania. That spot is about 43.20 south.
Leading into Isthmus Bay is the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Just south of the 
Neck, where this was taken is the landing place of
Captain Cook. The whole area was frequented by whalers too and there is a 
lighthouse on the southern tip which is in another
spectacular location.
Oh, and did you like my photograph BEFORE Jim's clipper sailed into view ;-)

Cheers
Geoff

Hi Ric:

I think the draw is about right, but she IS perilously close to the 
shore considering the direction of the wind.

What great seamanship! ;-)
