After Bicheno we travelled down the east coast of Tasmania to Freycinet National Park. We made it down the dirt road with our caravan and we were greeted with this lovely view of the ocean. There aren’t a lot of spaces in this campground that would suit a large van, we were lucky to get there when we did. Camping here was free with a national parks pass and a ranger came around at one point to check that we … Read More
When you are doing a trip like this with kids you have to pick and choose what walks you do. If it was just the two of us we’d do more, I’m sure. But with the kids we have to choose carefully. Balance a long walk with a couple of short ones. Hard, steep walks with easy ones. This was a short, easy walk with a waterhole at the end. JitterBug spied this log and started bouncing on it, marvelling … Read More
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. Before I took this a giant wave crashed right next to them and the spray went higher than them. The riptide was so, so strong. We didn’t let … Read More
Here’s part one. More pictures of the Bay of Fires on the eastern coast of Tasmania. One of the kids stole the camera and look…proof that I was there too! 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
