We have always believed there was a resemblance between Tasmania and Scotland. As we travel around the island we see it indeed. So many parts, particularly some river valleys, could just be Scotland, until we look at the vegetation. Yesterday even the weather was Scottish as the rain poured down and the hills were shrouded in mist! However, considering what is going on in Queensland, I could not make any complaint. We learned of the Toowoomba disaster yesterday when we bought "The Australian" and since we arrived back in Hobart the television is showing pictures of the Queensland floods constantly. We are relieved to know that Derek and family are safe as they live in a suburb of Brisbane which is high above the river, but are obviously nervous while all this is happening.
We are now back in Hobart for a few days while Karen is on her days off.
