Great times... exploring all that the boat had to offer in the way of entertainment. What to choose....a movie, games, enjoying the night lights of the city as we were leaving it behind or just hanging out with friends. But by the time we left the relative shelter of the bay and into the open water, everyone agreed that the best choice was lying down horizontal with eyes closed....even the teachers! Just need to survive the narrow hallways leading to the cabins....

| What a glorious day to start exploring Tassie |

| Look out! The boys have arrived |

| We have seen some amazing scenery along the way..... |
So in our exploring today we got to see Cradle Mountain...the whole of it and not just the base of it! Today happened to be one of the very few days each year that you can see a snow-covered peak. We felt very blessed, although apparently the kids didn't fully appreciate that fact, as they seemed more interested in throwing snow at each other! So much fun....even more when you decide to throw it at the teachers... until they throw it back!
Mr Gilmour made a little snowman for his kids, but decided against bringing it home, opting instead to video it for them.

Our time at the Cradle Mt National Park included learning about how it became a National Park through the vision of an Austrian name Gustav Weindorfer. Wandering around and through this heritage area was fascinating and so photogenic (we are all missing you Mrs Martinez!!)

Hey jack, it's Jarryd. Hope you're enjoying your time back in Tassie. I'm not sure about you but when I went back with the Christian College it was a blast from the past.
ReplyDeleteOh words of wisdom to other students make most of your time with friendships, I can guarantee you will learn somethings about one another. They will create memories you will hold forever.
Also make the most of you're time in Richmond. The lollieshop is amazing.

ReplyDeleteHi jack,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you get to have this awesome experience and share Tasmania with your friends.
It’s soooo quiet here.
Your phone has been buzzing with msgs, but it’s ok, I’m pretending to be you and answering them for you. Haha
I hope you are having an amazing adventure.
Love mum
Hey Josh I know you're camera shy but it was great to finally see a photo of you on the post today :-) Hope you're having a great time … can't wait to hear all about it
ReplyDeleteLOVE MUM & DAD xxx
Hi Indi. Looks like lots of fun and the weather looks beautiful. Keep warm and carry on. Love Mum x
ReplyDeleteHey boys, looks like tassies treating you pretty good. I'm glad Youts using his Indonesian skills. But I think you gotta brush up on your origin teams, following the wrong team there. I'm glad Bradley boys still going well. His identical twin lamb's still covered in food every time I see him. Come on and up your game Lawson, don't think I've seen you in any photos? Joe and tim, I'll tell china you boys are missing him? Have a good one, careful of the two headed guys
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you all having fun. Rati the house is quiet without you and Anesu misses you even though he won’t admit it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself
Love Mum xx
I love that photo of Pearlie girl running AND smiling!! And who said it couldn’t be done!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you all having a wonderful time.
We MISS you xx
M.D.I.R & J
We're all missing you, Merridy. We're having cheesecake without you and I doubt there's be any left by Tuesday, sorry. Dad only looks a little bit older and has had a good birthday. He might be getting a bit forgetful in his old age, though - he accidentally shut Wade out your window last night until we wondered why he hadn't come in for tea. Clarity and I cleaned out Tiger and Suarez's cage today and gave them some sunshine - nice to finally have some warmer days. Hope you're warm and too busy to think about us. Love, Mum, Dad, Micah, Clarity and Amelia.
