On the boat

It was so exciting to be on the big ship. It felt like a hotel. Our room was really cool with bunks and a porthole. The rocking of the boat helped us sleep! There were even video games and aЧитать далее
We're in tassie!

It was very cold and rainy but great to be in Tasmania.
Penguin

It was still very early and very cold. We went to Penguin. There was a big Penguin statue and penguins on all the signs.
Hot chocolate & marbles

The weather was horrible so we went and had a hot chocolate. We went to Sheffield which had murals everywhere. It had a cool old shop that had everything from weapons to typewriters. It also hadЧитать далее
Weekend at Burnie

The weather gradually improved as we arrived in Burnie. We saw paper made from wombat poo but didn't see any penguins. Very disappointing!
Us and the chocolate factory

We left Burnie and went for a walk along a river. The ferns and forest were amazing. Then we went to a chocolate factory for lunch. It was ace!
A very high chair

After arriving at our Caravan park near Launceston, we relaxed, played and had a BBQ for dinner. In the morning, we went to Cataract Gorge. There was a chair lift that was very high, a bit scary, butЧитать далее
Chess, monkeys & more hot chocolate

We headed into Launceston and went to City Park. There was a giant chess set, Japanese monkeys, ducks and pretty gardens. It was all really fun and then we had lunch and hot chocolate. We have seen soЧитать далее
Hadspen

We loved our cosy little cabin, and the playground and BBQ were close by. We had a spa! So of course we made a bubble apocalypse. There was a big bear head which actually was part of an aviary... TheЧитать далее
Leaving Launceston

It was time to leave Launceston. We visited the lolly shop and then hit the road for a massive day of adventures. The first stop was seahorse world.
Amazing seahorses

The tour of seahorse world was really amazing. We learnt a lot about them and saw them being fed. The babies ate sea monkeys!
We learned lots of facts. Seahorse dads are the ones who have the babiesЧитать далее
More of the seahorses and a few friends

Ruby and mum even got to hold a seahorse! There was other sea creatures there too.
It was so hard to choose seahorse photos, we got so many great ones!
Legerwood and the not-so-open road

It was a big day of driving. We had to have lots of stops. The best one was Legerwood. There were cool statues carved out of really big tree trunks. We went through forests, foggy mountains and downЧитать далее
Cabin at Coles Bay

We woke up to see our new location in the light for the first time. Our cabin has a view of the water and the whole area was very pretty. There was a playground and the beach was just across the road.
Devils and quolls, but no tigers

Natureworld was great! They rescue wounded animals and try to breed extras of the endangered animals too. There was a Tasmanian Devil who was used to pillows and blankets cos a rescuer let him! We allЧитать далее
More photos from Natureworld

We got to feed and pat lots of great animals. So many pictures, so hard to choose! Ruby patted the sugar glider and got bitten, we decided that was a rare and unique experience not many people have.
Walking in Freycinet

Mum and dad dragged us to the national park, then we found out it was beautiful and the walking tracks were fun! We loved the little flowers and colourful rocks and glittery sea. It's important toЧитать далее
Pizza, ice-cream and wine

We were hungry after all the walking so had pizza for lunch in Coles Bay before hitting the road again. We didn't make it too far before having to stop for ice cream. Mum and Dad made us go to aЧитать далее
Finally some decent WiFi

We arrived at our new home for the next 6 nights. It is at Seven Mile Beach which is near Hobart. It has a pool and a playground. Best of all, it has good WiFi. We had really missed that. We thinkЧитать далее
Salamanca and swimming

Mum and Dad made us go to the Salamanca markets. Mum was excited, she loves markets. It was kinda OK but some of the stalls were a bit boring for us. We did get beanie boos and donuts though. After,Читать далее
Shivering on Mount Wellington

We went up Mount Wellington in the morning. It was about 15 degrees in Hobart but only 3.5 degrees at the top of the mountain. The wind made it feel much colder than that. We couldn't feel our nosesЧитать далее
Brixhibition!

Guess what we found at Hobart City Hall? A Lego exhibition!! So many great models to see and of course a little Lego shop. It felt a bit like home. There was even a huge model of the Salamanca areaЧитать далее
Out and about in Hobart

We enjoyed some fish and chips from a floating shop and had a bit more of a look around. Then it was back to the pool for more swimming.
Beach and "belaxing"

Today we got to relax and not go anywhere except the beach across the road. The beach was too cold to swim but we found heaps of interesting shells. We had 2 big swims in the pool and played in theЧитать далее
Tessellated Pavement

We set off on a big adventure. Our first big stop for the day (we did stop for a sausage roll and toilets first really) was at a place called the Tessellated Pavement. It was caused by salt crystalsЧитать далее
