After free camping for a few days we decided to head for a caravan park for a couple of nights. We stayed in Bicheno on the east coast of Tasmania. While we were there we made it to a few places, first to the nearby blowhole. It was pretty spectacular at times. The boys all climbed closer for a better view. I’m sure they ended up in a few tourist pictures as there were quite a few people coming and … Read More
When we left the Bay of Fires area we took a quick detour to Binalong Bay. A lovely bronze statue of a lady in a bikini greeted us as we drove into town. I must have forgotten to take a picture. 😉 We just wanted a look at the beach and its lovely white sand. The sand here was so very soft. It squeaked under our feet as we walked. So different from the Bay of Fires sand that was … Read More
Yep, more pictures. Here’s parts one and two. The next time we went to the beach it was sunny. So beautiful! I came across this sand castle that some other family must have made. That’s Dad with TurboBug on the rock, watching the waves. TurboBug was cuddling close because of the wind.

I could have stayed there all day, watching the waves crashing on the white sand. TurboBug had a closer view. We were fascinated by the patterns the water was making in the sand. How to Draw a Turtle, by LadyBug. We spotted some blue jellyfish washed up in the seaweed … Read More
From Scottsdale we made our way to St Helens. We found this fabulous playground to stop at for lunch. After seeing pictures of the Bay of Fires Conservation Area I really had my heart set on camping up there, so we headed just north of town to see what was available. We ended up at the Cosy Corner camping area. There are two sections to this campground and we discovered later that the other section is better suited to caravans. … Read More
Driving in Tasmania is crazy. Windy roads, climbing and descending various mountains. Tasmania is the most mountainous state in Australia. You don’t have to be there long to confirm that with your own eyes. Towing a caravan on these roads is a bit daunting. But there are many of them on the roads, doing the same thing we are. And the cyclists! We’ve seen so many on these mountainous roads! Curvy roads, anyone? These roads remind us of driving in … Read More
