The Hobart docks filled with masts, rigging and beautiful planked decks (please forgive any awkward, un-boatsy language - I am but an ignorant landlubber!) last weekend for the Australian Wooden Boat Festival. We went down for a look on its final afternoon, under a rather grim grey sky, and peeped through the temporary fencing at the wonderful array of wooden vessels both large and small. We were unfortunately taken aback by the steep entry fee - even at the last day discount of $15 we thought it a bit rich to get a slightly closer view than that seen through the fence, so we looked for free!!
(I love this photo. "Mate! Come back! The festival's this way!")
