xenithMostly photos because I don't feel like writing anything. Nothing exciting.
That blue line is doing weird things.
When I was watching, it was a bit disappointing. Like there was something missing. But the photos seem to have the something.
Stupid fire things. Bah.
Now I can't remember what I had to eat, other than it was nice and I wished I had more pieces of it. But we went and found something to eat. Edit: spring rolls, lovely spring rolls.
Fire things! That was the best one. I couldn't miss it, seeing as I was standing next to the first one when it went off. OK once I was the over the "What the-- Oh!" point and grabbed the camera.
I left about 9.30ish because the museum was open late and I like the idea of late opening museum, so I had to go over to check it out.
As I only had about 20 minutes, I decided to check out just one gallery, and went for the first floor of the Bond Store, was is called "Our Changing Land: creating Tasmania". I'll just throw in a few photos from there to give an idea what it was like. It was a little odd.
The entry part had these tall cases with a few tools/piece of equipment in each, and lots of words on the pole. That wasn't particularly attention getting (or odd).
But there there's these double doors that lead through into an area that's
a cross between a well-windowed living room and a furniture shop, in amongst the solid timber poles and beams of the warehouse.
Then out the other side of that, and you come to this. The cases have amongst other things, trophies, souvenirs the Australasian League flag. Behind them there's a b&w film, with coat of arms on the right and a coach used by the Duke & Duchess of York & Cornwall during a visit in 1901. I'm sure there's a logic behind it all. I'll have to go back for another look.
Some more standard displays. This being a model of the first Government House (the site of which overlaps what is now Franklin Square, Elizabeth Street & the Town Hall).
Some Beattie collection items. (John Beattie was a photographer and collect of stuff who had a museum in Hobart. His collection was split between TMAG and QVMAG. A source of many interesting items, esp. from Port Arthur, but not always with their provenance or even an accurate description at times.)
Leaving now :) The last photos are just a few I took on the way back to the hotel.
Late night construction work.
