Popped over to beautiful Bruny Island for a couple of nights. Surprised to see so many tourists in the middle of winter.
They have 6 little libraries on the island, made by the Men's Shed. I've visited 5 and will swing by no.6 on the way to the ferry.

Cupcake12 This is lovely, we don‘t have many of these in the UK. 1mo
