I have more phone photos today because although I went out with my camera on Friday it turns out that almost everything in Geeveston is made of wood!
Hobart
So here are some sandstone bricks I photographed in Hobart, many of the old buildings date from the 1820s and the bricks were made with convict labour.

Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008.
We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company.
I currently co-write two Wordpress blogswith my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and a "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania.

This is a mostly wood village, but we are built on rocks. Not many stone buildings, but lots of rocks by the rivers and all those stone fences …

A lot of the older towns have those dry stone walls but Geeveston, being a forest town was built with timber.
