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
21. syyskuuta 2016, Australia ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
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 babiesLue lisää
What an awesome holiday. And that is one of the places I want to visit. When I had my beautiful sea horses that was where they came from.
Ann OldmeadowI have never heard of sea horse world - it sounds so interesting. I know Ruby loves sea horses. They are such strange little creatures!
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!

What an amazing looking creature! Lily looked at the photos with me today Ruby - she is really missing you and Sam.

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.

What a lot you've learnt about Tassie devils! Fern and Griffin recently sponsored two named Storm and Luna - they live at a different zoo in Tasmania. We love them!
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.
Loving the pics! Looks like a fantastic time is being had by all. Jack says hi to Sam and is looking forward to their next catch up! 😀
