Tantalising Tasmania

I can see the stormy sea sweeping and smashing the slippery sand.
Tall trees twitching and turning their branches.
Fairywrens trying to fly in the fierce ferocious sky.
I can feel the roaring rushing wind whistling up Mount Wellington.
The sparkling sun shining on my skin at sunset.
A bleak blizzard blowing bitter breaths on my face.
I can hear bumblebees busily buzzing collecting a beautiful pollen bounty.
People chitter chattering while chewing warm croissonts.
Soft slimy seaweed sloshing up onto the shore at Storm Bay.
I can smell bread baking in a 100 year old brown wood fired oven.
The soft sent of spring flowers stimulating my senses.
The approaching relief of rain ready to replenish this remote island.
I can taste a delicate and delicious hot chocolate.
Cheese softly scented with the flavour of saffron.
Elderflower cider elegantly entrancing my mouth.
This is...... Tantalising Tasmania!
