Hobart Botanic Gardens houses a wonderful collection of plants indigenous to Australia’s remote Macquarie Island. Over 100 species of lichen thrive across the island’s extreme subantarctic landscapes and I was quite taken with the beautiful array of colours.

Here I’ve used washes of Olive, Amsterdam Green, Graphite and Honfleur as a gentle nod to the patchwork of greens and browns that cling to the rocks.

I’ve popped in a photo of some of the lichen we saw, and also some failed attempts at selfies 🤦🏻. Thought it might be nice to see a human in front of the backdrop, but alas, I’m still very much a behind the camera kind of girl. Next time 🙂

Huon Valley night sky hand painted photography backdrop.

The deep, dark sky inky blues and mists of the Huon Valley in Tassie are something else. We did a lot of night wandering in the lovely town of Cygnet enjoying the absence of light pollution. Magical.

This backdrop was done using a combo of Annie Sloan Chalk Paints in Graphite, Oxford Navy and Aubusson Blue. Love how the camera picks up different colours in different light.

The colours of Australia vs the colours of Norway.

Hobart really, really reminded me of one of my fav places, Bergen, Norway. Probably why I fell for it so quickly!

Similar size, houses blanketing hills that edge a beautiful harbour snaking deep through the city. A bustling historical port.

A big difference is of course the geology. So interesting to compare the colours and elements of my treasures from each destination.

Aurora hunting and star gazing in Cygnet.

The camera picked up a little colour looking due south, could be a very faint aurora.

Either way we got some great shots of the Milky Way, I’m pretty astounded what detail my humble iPhone camera can capture.

A day in the life of the Huon Valley. Peaceful, beautiful and varied, and only 30 minutes from Hobart. What’s not to love?

MONA. Impossible to do it justice on camera so you’ll just have to go, which you definitely should do.

Have a flick through my pics of some of the amazing textures of the buildings instead if you like. Lots of future painting projects inspo.

Hobart is amazing for night time photography! The beautiful shapes of the architecture, thoughtful street lighting and dark skies are a sublime combination.

Tonight we stumbled upon Preachers, a great little bar tucked away on a side street in Salamanca. A fab mix of grungy quirk with an old bus in the courtyard and a soundtrack that took us right back to our 90s youth. Highly recommend! Hobart is awesome 🙂

The husband and I have hopped down to Hobart for a few days. I’d never been and must say I love its vibe so far!

Love the thoughtful newer architecture and design elements down around the docks. They integrate so beautifully with the heritage buildings.

People seem friendly and unpretentious. There is art and live music. Just our kind of place. Looking forward to exploring some more today!

Any tips please do let me know! Will hit the markets today, and maybe the botanic gardens. Must see Mona. Then maybe down to the Huon Valley for a couple of days…

I’ve fallen hard for my new venetian blinds! It’s taken AGES to decide what to use on the kitchen windows, and I’m so pleased I waited as venetians were a spur of the moment choice. They’re on special at at the moment so I figured it wasn’t a big risk if they didn’t work out. It was so easy to buy online then self-install that I’m currently eyeing off what other windows could do with some!

I love the light they throw and the horizontal lines balance out all the vertical stripes I’ve got going on elsewhere. They make the room feel finished, and the retro vibe really suits the era of the house. 👌🏼

In other news I’ve also repainted the kitchen cabinets and white goods in Annie Sloan Satin Paint in Knightsbridge Green!

A gorgeous deep colour that works beautifully with the original 60s timber floorboards 💚
