Setting Sail!
July 21, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
What a fun, windy, long, exciting day! It was so sunny and nice. We parked our car next to the pet cages, and the dogs were crying to be locked up. At least they were going on holidays...
Luckily theRead more
Launceston, lunch, and lovely friends
July 22, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
A beautiful drive through green countryside with heaps of sheep and cows took us to Launceston. Our friends Lyndell, Isla, Amelie and Will moved to Tassie a few years ago and it was great to haveRead more
Ulverstone
July 22, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Our motel is nice enough but not very exciting, especially as the pool is closed for winter. Ruby is devastated! But it's a cute historical town to explore and we are near the (freezing) beach on BassRead more
A beautiful place for brunch.
July 23, 2019 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 7 °C
We all agreed we found an awesome place for brunch. The Tasmania Food and Wine Conservatory was very cool, a nice old building with heaps of plants, yummy things, chickens and an old bus in theRead more
Hexagonal Holiday House
July 23, 2019 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 6 °C
When we were arriving Sam said this house is a hexagonal prism with a hexagon-based pyramid for the roof. Of course! We love this house and it was totally worth the drive through the rain.
We can seeRead more
A cold rainforest

After a drive when mum embarrassed us by shouting MOO to all the cows we saw, we walked through a beautiful ferny creek path towards some amazing caves.
Caves and glow worms
July 24, 2019 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 5 °C
The limestone caves at Mole Creek were warmer than the outside world! We reminded ourselves about stalacmites and stalactites. Thankfully for mum we didn't see cave spiders. It's been too rainy. WeRead more
Finally some snow!
July 24, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C
On the way back from the caves to our holiday house we wanted to do a scenic lake walk but as you can see it was impossible! A lot more snow than we expected, on the mountain behind our house. RubyRead more
Wombats and Devils
July 25, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Well we learned so much at Trowunna Wildlife Park and got to interact with the animals more than we expected. The wombat was having so much fun with us all. She was tough and showed us her survivalRead more
Salmon farm and holiday relaxing.
July 25, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Feeding salmon was amazing! They are jumpy. We saw salmon eggs and baby fish. A bit hard to photograph. Mum and dad liked the tastings... We left it to them! The salmon were pink and spotty. There wasRead more
Cradle Mountain!
July 26, 2019 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 4 °C
So amazing. We drove up through forests that kept changing, and had a shuttle bus ride in the national park. What a great idea, if so many people wanted to drive in and out it would be awful for theRead more
More Cradle Mountain
July 26, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C
Bonus cradle mountain photos. Volcano crater lake! Rainbow!
Hobart!
July 27, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

Markets....
July 27, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Mum was so happy we went to the Salamanca markets. We saw and tasted and tried lots of things. There are some interesting artistic people. We got some yummy food for dinner.
We saw a cute parkingRead more
Riding tigers- MONA part 1
July 28, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
Going on the camouflage catamaran from Hobart to Mona was awesome. It was soooooo cold in the wind but we loved riding on the tigers on the boat.
The weird and wonderful- MONA part 2
July 28, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
We all got to go on a trampoline outside MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art. We felt like we were flying above Tasmania, up high. The art was like nothing we've seen before, and we didn't understandRead more
MONA part 3
July 28, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
We loved the silver grotto. And on our devices we carrired around, it matched with cool music and information. Then, the boat trip back wasn't as freezing!
Bye, Hobart!
July 28, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
It was a lovely place to stay in Battery Point. We could walk everywhere. It was interesting that this was supposed to be a good defense place for Hobart, but the governors kept building the wrongRead more
It snowed on us! Plus, a cool Wall.
July 29, 2019 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 4 °C
Today we drove a lot and saw a lot of different landscapes. We stopped at Derwent Bridge, a tiny village in the highlands. Lunch at the hotel was fantastic, they gave us a heater at our table andRead more
Coming to Strahan!
July 29, 2019 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 5 °C
Tasmania is so interesting and beautiful. Everywhere we looked was different, sometimes rainforest, or rocky, or farmland, or snowy mountains, or pretty rivers. We saw pipes from the hydroelectricRead more
Beachcombing
July 30, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
The Strahan ocean beach was not like the beaches we usually go to. It was cold, flat, and had so many interesting rocks and treasures to find. The sand was all marbled with contrasting colours.
Exploring Strahan
July 30, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Strahan is small and pretty. The houses look historic and there are streams, forests, fishing in the bay, and ducks trying to get crumbs outside the bakery.
Train, river and rainforest
July 31, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C
What a great day we had today on a historic train trip! There is a rack and pinion track through the forest, along the river, up and down hills. It was built over 100 years ago, all by hand, by peopleRead more
