Tasmanian Railways Tasmania's 3' 6" (1067mm) narrow gauge rail network only has a few hundred kilometres separating the ends of the network. The operations are moderately scaled with a huge variation within a small distance. See the breath-taking scenery of the Emu Bay Railway in the west, and ride the north coast track within metres of the sea. |

Citroën Cars I have been interested in Citroëns since the mid 60's. At this time a Tasmanian uncle drive a 1963 ID-19 to survey the Murchison Highway. After waiting a quarter of a century, I finally bought a 1959 ID-19 sedan. I now suspect Citroën ownership may be something of a family thing. My daily use car is a 1995 Citroën Xantia. |

Van Diemen's Land Described here is a ten day tour across Tasmania with out of the way locations and experiences, resulting from a collation of my travels. Tasmania is best enjoyed during summer, outside school holidays. An affordable holiday solution is to rent a small car for a week and stay in a pub or cottage overnights. Why not go? |

Genealogy I was suprised at the diversity of my ancestors. 'Worthington' is Saxon, meaning 'the farm in town', 'Wilson' means 'son of Wil' from the Viking settlement of Scotland. There are also English (Chaffey, Kingsmill), Scottish (Dow), Irish (O'Shea, Allen), Welsh (Neath), Heugenot French (Penney) and German (Arnold) ancestors. |

Humour A talent scout for Cirque du Soleil is having a drink in a pub when a duck with a toolkit around his waist waddles in and asks for a beer. The scout is astounded and says to the duck "How would you like to work for Cirque du Soleil?" The duck replies "What would the Cirque du Soleil want with a plumber?" |
