Visits
- 2025-11-20: We had intended on taking a trip to the southwest coast of Tasmania. In the morning, the sky was clear and calm. Unfortunately, the southwest areas were socked in by rain, fog, and wind, so we couldn't make it. Instead, we headed into town where we caught a ferry to the MONA museum. The first ferry broke down before we could leave port, but we did make it on the second ferry. That museum was much more interesting than the boring ones you find in the USA and Europe.
