Tasmanian Tigers, or Devils.? A shocking trip into the deadly and unknown....

Hi all, I have survived the first night.

This being my first ever visit to the Dark Island, I was not exactly sure what to expect, but my suspicions about this dank place have been largely confirmed.....

Tasmania can be summed up perfectly with just one word: Primitive.

I did get one pleasant surprise - the airstrip at their capital is actually paved - was not expecting that!

Anyway, a couple of quick snaps to show what I am enduring:
 
But alas, after a day starting with such beauty, It ended being plunged into the squalor of the Dark Island.

After the short-lived surprise of the paved landing strip, conditions rapidly grew worse as the Geo led us to his lair.

It turns out that he lives next to a fetid swamp, its reeking waters thankfully mainly obscured by over-grown weeds:

I am not a fussy eater, but it was only through sheer starvation that I was able to swallow the evening's offerring. Having no agriculture nor logistics, the inhabitants of this God-forsaken hell-hole just eat whatever swims past, or sprouts naturally on the ground. And obviously, with such things as electricity and gas not yet arriving to their backward corner, everything must be charred using sticks gathered from the forest:

After fitful sleep, due to both the worry of assasination and the effects of half a bottle of OP rum, I awoke pre-dawn and did a recce - to find an escape route. I stumbled across a native canoe that could be very useful when I decide to slip away...... (note in the background some real boats - these are clearly inhabited by foreign traders that are savvy enough not to soil themselves by actually setting foot on these horrid lands)
