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...

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

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
Christine D'couto Somehow I was expecting icicles in the cave. Seemed like a lovely day. Interesting glow worms.

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

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
