Here’s a map of the southeast part of Tasmania. See Hobart at the top? Under that is Kingston. We were camping in Snug which is just south of Kingston. At the bottom of the map you’ll see Cockle Creek, where we’d been the day before. The day we went to the Tahune AirWalk we stopped in Geeveston for tickets and a trip through their Forest & Heritage Centre. Then we went on to Tahune, you can see it on the … Read More
After our time in Canberra we chose to come straight to Sydney and spend a week or so here. The first few days we had great weather so we made the most of it and headed in to the city to see the sights! The two of us were last here eleven years ago. Somewhere we have a picture of us from back then in front of the bridge. I’ll have to look for it. We walked across the bridge … Read More
After our long trip down to Cockle Creek we decided to make another long road trip to the Tahune AirWalk. We stopped in Geeveston to purchase our tickets, I’d heard that the Forest & Heritage Centre was not to be missed. This wooden statue greeted us just outside the door. I wish I could remember the story, but the statue is of a much-loved resident in the town who had passed away years before. Carved wooden statues make sense for … Read More

We walked around the bend, both of us girls had our gorgeous pink laces on. We were greeted with a beautiful scene of lichen-covered rocks. And a fairy house or two. I do try to convince the kids they are fairy … Read More
Whoever has been hiking with young kids knows that the time estimates don’t apply. I’m not sure how long this walk was for us, but it was definitely more than two hours. We really didn’t know what to expect as we set off. I was a bit afraid of getting eaten by mosquitoes as there had been many at the carpark. We started off on this somewhat narrow trail through the bush. It very quickly led to the beach. We … Read More
While we were staying in Snug (just south of Hobart) we made the drive down to Cockle Creek. We couldn’t come this close and not drive as far south as possible. I was a little nervous when we turned on the GPS and it said we were three and a half hours away! That’s a lot of car time with kids, especially a toddler. This is where we were headed. It’s as far south as you can drive in Tasmania. … Read More
