Perched on Tasmania’s southeastern coast, the lively city of Hobart is a unique mash-up of the 19th and 21st centuries. The waterfront cafes, restaurants and studios of the largest city in Tasmania are housed in centuries-old converted warehouses that overlook a harbor bustling with yachts and fishing boats. An active arts scene, vibrant nightlife and leisurely daytime pace add to the city’s charm.

Had not idea where my husband was leading me when he said he wanted to go to the Cenopath. What a pleasant surprise. Beautiful and interesting architecture and great views. Stop by on your way to or from the Botanical Gardens.

Maybe this is a composite sculpture collection; the penguins and sea lions have their own little niche (surrounded by real life harbor birds, etc.) and then the scene opens up into an expansive "Bob Hope Road Show" style memorial (ala San Diego near the Midway ship). Louis Bernacchi, physicist and astronomer, poses for a photograph, while rounding up his dogs, assembling his gear boxes, and embarking upon the Antarctic explorations ... or maybe he has just arrived in Antarctica? There is a flag-like standard in his hand. We, as unexpected (and unexpecting) participants, weave our way through this collection of boxes, photography grear, dogs, sea life, and bolders along the Franklin Wharf on our way back to our own vessel. Maybe we should whisper and beg his pardon for stomping along here, uninvited, disturbing his very personal moment. Lt. Commander of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Barnacchi was an exceptional man. He volunteered in both WWI and WWII; while in WWI (serving in the anti-submarine division AND American Destroyer Squadron) he received the medals of the "Order of the British Empire" and the "US Navy Cross". These are awarded in recognition of meritorious military service worthy of recognition, chivalry, gallantry, and extraordinary heroism in combat. Louis Bernacchi, we thank you for your service, on so many fronts.
