Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Bridges & Ferries


Bridges and Ferries—CFFC

The last of the transport themed CFFC posts is about bridges and ferries. I have plenty of photos of both. First here are some from home.

Sadly, Devonport’s “ferry across the Mersey” is no more. In the background is the Bass Strait ferry, ” Spirit of Tasmania “. Currently there are two “Spirit’s” operating between Devonport and Geelong in Victoria. They are over twenty years old. The first of two new ones is berthed in Scotland waiting until the wharf in Devonport has been rebuilt. The new ships are too big for it and yes, we should have done that first. It’s going to take two years.

Here’s a favourite bridge photo. It’s at Waratah, north western Tasmania.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our 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. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs,Teddy and Brodie and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly.
