Today
was a very cultural day. It was built around our meeting with Steve
and Tish for lunch at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. Before
meeting them, we explored the waterfront and, after lunch, checked
out the museum exhibits – very interesting and informative as you
would expect.
From
there we went to MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art. We weren't
aware of it which surprised Steve and Tish but they described it as a
must visit destination, so we did. It's the largest privately funded
museum in Australia and is built three stories underground into the
harbourside cliffs at Berriedale. 
Some of the exhibits were fantastic. Others were obscure but, for art lovers, an absolute mecca. The concept is spectacular. The photo above is a fountain which spells out words - very clever.
Tomorrow,
we head back to the bush as the countdown starts for our return to the mainland
next Sunday. Unfortunately, because of commitments that Mal and Paula
now have, our trip to Charleville for the opening of the Story Bridge
has been postponed so we will have to devise a different program for
the trip home.
