ventures into a new year

It's 2008 already - eek!

After such a chaotic (but exciting) year, this little hummingbird decided to fly south seeking adventure in Tasmania's south west. And adventure did she find! Wading through thigh deep mud, hail storms, leeches, broken stoves, flooded creeks, mischievous possums, hitching rides with mysterious strangers, midnight picnics on the beach, skinny dipping in freezing cold lakes, walking alone through the stunning valleys and mountains, night kayaking on Hobart's Sandy Bay, drinking really bad wine around a campfire with random travelers, walks along the sea cliffs of Tassie's east coast with new friends, lazying on the beach drinking beer and watching the waves crash... Everything we planned morphed into an exciting unexpected adventure. Not as much wilderness as I'd hoped for, but I made some amazing new friends and have a renewed faith in the concept of spontaneity - a definite the theme of this holiday!

So anyway, 2008... another year full of adventures... My diary is filling up so fast already. Festivals all over the country to check out, an artist residency in May, a bunch of other creative projects, exciting gigs coming up... and hopefully a splash or two of spontaneous madness for good measure!
