The Sheffield SteamFest is held every year on this long weekend in Tasmania. ( The 8 hour day weekend) What a great few days , the largest display of working steam vehicles in Australia. Tractors, trains, boats and more. We volunteered there for the last 3 Days of our ' Tasmania trip. The photos are very random but you’ll work them out I’m sure. Sheffield is also noted for its murals , there are so many of them around the town but I am only posting a few.

“Wee Georgie “ was transported from the west coast to Sheffield for this day. |

If you ever get to this strange weird and wonderful shop you must stop and read the hand written signs.
It’s a shop selling mainly old music and some other things. It will really make you laugh. For example a whole row of beautiful but unwrapped soaps. The sign says … “ Don't lick the soap”??? What ?? Well it appealed to my sense of humour anyway. |

This young girl about 14 was just amazing she was learning the steam engine trade with her dad.
