What do you call dangerous precipitation? a rain of terror.

or in the case of Tasmania thats just every second day.

A week out the forecast was certainly not looking good for the first couple of days, it was predicted increasing rain on about day 2, as we got closer that rain was pretty much guaranteed on day 1, all 10 to 35mm of it. I can safely say that there was definitely 35mm and more, the good news is tho, I still got the camera out to take a few pictures, I actually think I did rather good given the conditions, the camera did survive even tho it and the bag got completely soaked – mental note for next time, get a decent rain cover for my camera bag, or re-waterproof the existing one since it seemed to really not work…

Here are the highlights from day one.
