G'day to everyone, This is another huge blog with all the boxes ticked. It's cram packed with lots of adventures while staying in Hobart. Our first cab off the rank was the Royal Tasmanian Botanic Gardens with it's wonderful old trees and green, green grassy sites. But the real reason was for Peter Cundall's vegie patch! It was packed with lots of goodies like herbs, corn, berries, a large pumpkin patch and rows of apple trees. The apples were literally falling of the ...

Thursday 22nd we drove into the heart of the forestry area of southern Tasmania and climbed up to the Tahune airwalk which allows you to walk at the top of some enormous trees. The tallest are Eucalyptus Regnans or Mountain Ash, which Tasmanians quaintly call Swamp Gums. Apparently they can grow to almost 100metres, although the ones here are more like 50 to 70 metres. On the way back we dropped into some of the local wineries to check ...

... I have fallen in love with my grandnephew twins and Chris is very settled and happy working at the Hobart Royal. We have managed to play badminton most of our time here, joining the South Hobart Club which is a very friendly, welcoming club of about 200. We played in the league and our team is currently undefeated so we will be checking on their progress when we come back at Xmas. We revisited the east coast which ...

I wasn't 'allowed' to buy a toy one so we compromised and I got a hand puppet on the grounds that I need it to entertain my baby nephew, ahem. To get to the Tasman Arch and the blow hole you have to go through a place called Dootown, much to our delight we noticed everyone had named their house ...

... on the third day and hike Mount Wellington which looks over the entire city. It was about a 4 hour hike and it wasn't easy. I stopped about 30 times on the way up to take pictures which got really annoying for Lauren and Krissy but it was also a secret excuse for me to catch my breath and continue along. We went from rainforest at the bottom to dry rock land at the top. It was exhilerating and rewarding. The next day we got our campervan. Now ...
