Is that an A380 or a B747?

Nothing *too* special, most of them were with the standard 18-55mm lens on a Canon EOS 350D.

Twas a 747-400 according to the on-course commentary (and double-checked with airliners.net to make sure ;) )

Well, after holidaying around Melbourne for a while, I'm now in slightly chilly Hobart ;)

Seen a few emergency vehicles so far, but only managed to get pics of these two police cars so far...

Behind the Cenotaph on a hill in Hobart is a helicopter landing pad. Not sure why it's placed there exactly, it'd be a few minutes drive to the hospital, but I don't think there's anywhere handy that they could land a helicopter at the Royal Hobart Hospital anyway, so perhaps that's why...

Oh and here's a couple for AE ;)

Last of all, if you have a car in Hobart, you'd want to make sure you have a good handbrake!!!

Everything in Tassie seems to have character. So many old buildings that have really been well looked after.

Been to Port Arthur today and all I can say is ... wow ;)
