How Do You Doo It? |
 |
If you're visiting Australia, you likely won't make it "under down under" to the island of Tasmania, Oz's natural state (named that for good reason). And, if you make it to Tasmania, you probably won't make it far from Hobart, its capital, unless you devote more than a few days (which you certainly should).
As we drove down to the old penal colony of Port Arthur, we came across a little town called Doo Town. We have no idea why it was named that, but the local residents went all out with their hometown pride and because giving their houses pun names with "Doo" in the title. Apparently, the first of the bunch was Doo Little, but since then some fun ones have come about (Love Me Doo is a favorite).
And, if you're in for a good snack, head to the nearby blowhole (there are signs around town). While the sight itself is remarkably dull, there's a roadside stand that serves fish n' chips and ice cream. Try the English Toffee flavor (of ice cream, not fish) and you won't regret it.
