Tassie!

I can’t help but rejoice after the good news that the World Heritage Committee has rejected the Abbott government’s dishonest and politically motivated attempt to de-list 74,000 of Tasmania’s World Heritage Area.

I visited Tasmania for the first time way back in 1997, long before I moved to Sydney for good. It made an everlasting impression—a unique, pristine environment blessed by Nature in so many ways. My second trip to Tasmania was in 2006, a few months after I became an Australian citizen, and I do hope I’ll go there again soon.

As a way to celebrate the World Heritage’s Decision, I’d like to share a few of my favourite snaps with you. Enjoy! FFJ
