PHOTOS FROM SETA DEPLOYMENT

TASMANIA, 2007

These photos were taken during the pullout of a short-period array of receivers in Tasmania. This campaign is part of the RSES's continuous effort, led by Nick Rawlinson, to improve the imaging of the southeastern part of the Australian continent and increase the knowledge on the Tasmanian tectonic history. For those who are ignorant of the rest of the world, Tasmania might be just a tiny island inhabited by the Tasmanian devils. Australians, however, know that Tasmania is a true perl, with perfect climate and magnificent scenery...I would add that this was one of the most pleasant field trips I've ever had.

Mailboxes in Launceston, Tasmania's second largest city

They spend three out of their five active hours per day eating. Hobart harbor Tasmania's Dalrimple Pinot Noir is, in my opinion, without any doubt among the world' best Pinot Noirs

A view from our room in Swansea, near the Freycinet peninsula This kangaroo authoritatively grabbed the entire bag of nibbles I bought at the entrance door. The kangaroo is surely the most iconic Australia's animal. I think this was the Eastern Grey kangaroo.
