Want to visit Tasmania? (50s)

To show you the rugged beauty that is Tasmania, here is the winning Photo in the Astrophotography Competition.
Luke Tscharke's breathtaking snap of the Milky Way rising above Tasmania's wilderness.
Titled Crescent Moon at Lake Oberon, it isn't obvious at first sight that it's a night picture, but it was taken in the early morning about 4:00am from the Western Arthur Range between the astronomically named Mount Orion and Mount Sirius.
The shading of the mountains in the background, and of course the Milky Way rising over the lake, the moon and a meteor on the right make for a stunning advertisement for Tasmania

Tasmania is heaven. Hope that place stays away from shitty industrialization and globalization and don't go the way Melbourne and Sydney have gone. They are one step closer to turning into big urban slums.

@SW-User Tasmania will never be "built out" because it is predominately wild bushland, thick forest, mountainous. Quite safe from developers.

@reflectingmonkey Hahahahaha.....coz he's a little Taswegian Rippa ! ..😆

@reflectingmonkey Taz is me. I was born in Tasmania, living on the rugged West Coast. Fishing the Gordon River, Macquarie Harbour. The large treeless mountain is Mt Owen, overlooking Queenstown, my home town.
Cray fishing at Trial Harbour.

I wish the flights weren't so expensive; if they weren't, I would already have visited.
