Stargazer

Stargazer pays tribute to Abel Tasman, who as an explorer and navigator, must have spent a fair amount of time gazing towards the heavens. Tasman, a Dutchman under the employ of the United East India Company was the first European to sight Tasmania and then the South Island of New Zealand, 19 days later. He is a natural link for me, having been born and bred a South Islander, and now having fallen in love with another island, Tasmania.
