Queens Domain, Hobart
The area called the Queens Domain takes up most of this hill in the centre of the city, including the Botanical Gardens, Government House and the bush land up to the 'look-out' at the top. Recognised as being reserved for the people since the early days of the settlement, and frequently under threat from development, Parliament formally recognised its value as a public space in 1858.
This video was researched written and prepared by TMAG volunteer Sally Rackham and narrated by Noreen Le Mottee.
Tasmania
Tasmania (abbreviated as Tas and known colloquially as Tassie; /tæzˈmeɪniə/) is an island state, part of the Commonwealth of Australia, located 240 kilometres (150 mi) to the south of the Australian continent, separated by Bass Strait. The state includes the island of Tasmania, the 26th largest island in the world, and the surrounding 334 islands. The state has a population of 507,626 (as of June 2010), of whom almost half reside in the greater Hobart precinct.

Tasmania is promoted as the natural state, and A World Apart, Not A World Away owing to its large and relatively unspoiled natural environment. Almost 45% of Tasmania lies in reserves, national parks and World Heritage Sites. The island is 364 kilometres (226 mi) long from its northernmost to its southernmost points, and 306 kilometres (190 mi) from east to west.

JWard Lunatic Asylum - Ararat, Victoria, Australia.
Hi Fantoms - paraNOTnormal went along on a 2 hour ghost tour with Lantern Ghost Tours and it was an awesome experience !
JWard began as a prison in 1859. It later became temporary housing for the Criminally Insane. It was closed in 1991 and is now a museum. Over its long history, there were many gruesome events.
We had a few experiences during the tour, including humming in the ear, a cold hand in a room where a man likes to hold hands with guests, our KII meters lit up in a number of locations, and we got some photos with some oddities. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and recommend any of our Fantoms to check it out for themselves. Would love to see what you find and hear your feedback!

A ride on the West Coast Wilderness Railway in Queenstown, Tasmania
We boarded the old steam train expecting a ride and some great scenery. We walked away with knowledge, an adventure and big smiles on our faces thanks to the team at the West Coast Wilderness Railway. This is a must do when in Tasmania!
More info on our blog:
We’re on our trip of Tasmania by cabin and car and after our time wandering Cradle Mountain we headed to the west coast for a night in Strahan, followed by an adventure on the West Coast Wilderness Railway. There are a number of different half day and full day rides available, and we selected a morning half day tour departing Queenstown for Double Barril. It’s known as the Rack & Gorge Experience.
Something that we weren’t aware of was just how thirsty a steam train is. As a result after departing Queenstown there were a number of stops on our way to Double Barril. Each of these provided an opportunity to stretch the legs, take some photos and purchase a hot coffee on two of the stops. We took the Heritage Class tickets, which didn’t provide access to a rear balcony or food and drinks during the journey. But we packed our lunch and really had plenty of room and viewing opportunity.
During the trip you learn all about the history of Queenstown, and the local gold rush and copper mining history of the town. This is an amazing story that is truly brought to life, with two characters selected from the carriages to play the part of a rich Mr Kelly and an entrepreneur Mr Grotty. We won’t ruin the story for you (I guess you could Google it!) but the story is told throughout the journey.
The views were spectacular, the carriages spacious and the overall experience well worth doing on your own, with friends or like us with your family. We passed the longer all day tour on the way, which provides a different experience and story to our own.
