Tasmania

Rolling waves
Blue, blue sea
Picturesque sands and rocks
Tricks you into thinking
The water is warm.

Emerald, deep blues and greens
Glistening, sparkling, crystal clear.
I see the sea and
the sea sees me.


Snowy, windy, cold
Sunny, peaceful, quiet
Exquisite views, stunning sunsets
Mountains, towering above,
Like the guardians of cities and towns.

Wonderful, rich history
Old buildings and structures
Old gaols, places of imprisonment.
They used to be harsh places people would dread.
Now they are fascinating places to access the past.

This is Tasmania.
