Ain't nothing like a holiday to a far away land, somewhere that contrasts deeply with home to jolt you out of the daily grind. Tasmanian photographer, Nigel Eberhardt, knows such a place and escapes there when the need arises. Stuffed deep within the tropics where the air is thick and water blue it's as far removed as could be imagined from home.

Nigel has also included a selection of Tasmanian shots. Take away the rubber, replace the eucalypts with palm trees and they're not that different from his tropical retreat.

All photos by Nigel.
