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

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
After Longford we made our way to a free camp in Scottsdale. During our stay there we drove up to Bridport on the northern coast to have a wander on the beach. It was a lovely beach. Too cold for a swim but great for exploring. The tiny mussels made beautiful patterns on the rocks. I love to watch my kids exploring. All of them are in this picture below, each in separate spots and in their own little worlds. … Read More
Look at this! A more current post! From this month! While we were in Geelong a couple of weeks ago we headed out to Torquay to the beach. First we had a look at Bells Beach, a famous surfing beach. It was quite a hike from the carpark down to the beach, and the water was slightly rough so we decided to move on. Can’t imagine hiking down all those stairs (or back up!) with the kids and all our … Read More
