Autumn in Tasmania
When the rest of the
Northern Hemisphere is excited about the coming of Spring, here in Tasmania in
the other side of the world, we are experiencing discernible change to milder,
clear days. It only means that winter is fast approaching. But before that I took
the chance to enjoy what autumn in Tasmania is like.

Port Arthur Historic Site
“The Port Arthur Historic Site is amongst the best-preserved
convict settlements in Australia and among the most significant convict era
sites in the world.” (Discover Tasmania).
Port Arthur
is got to be one of the most intriguing places I’ve been to. It provides a
glimpse of what the place represents in the history books of Tasmania.

![]() |
| TASMANIAN TIGER IN HOBART ZOO, 1920'S |
The Thylacine
or the Tasmanian Tiger is considered
to be one of the famous icons of Tasmania. Being the largest carnivorous
marsupial in the world and could only be found in the island, the said animal
is considered extinct by 1936. The
last known Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, died in captivity in 1936 but
specimens of Australia's carnivorous marsupial are preserved in museums around
the world.
