Bush Fever Again: Heading to Flinder’s Island, Tasmania

Published February 5, 2011

I, Bernie Harberts, did not use generative AI to write or illustrate this article. Spell check and grammar check, yes. AI, no.

The rash from my recent leech bites has faded but the travel itch hasn’t. Yep, that means, as I do from time to time, I’m going “bush” again. It’s too soon to tell where I’m ending up. All I know is I’ve a hankering for the sea and am thinking of heading off to Flinders Island off the north east coast of Tasmania.

Oh, and I’ll have some pretty cool music to listen to.

Over the past days, I’ve put together some great audio of the visit I had with Ian Summers of St Marys, Tasmania. In addition to knowing a bit about everything, he’s also a great banjo and twelve string guitar player. I’ve heard from lots of you that you’d like to hear some Tassie music so stay tuned! The tunes roll out soon.

Hold Fast!

hi bernie
looking forward to hearing some interesting down under banjo and guitar music.
Live audio of your night of horrors in Camp Leach you handled remarkably well considering the threat they posed.
