Tasmania is a 2 hour flight from Sydney. Child 3 booked the flights and car hire and his girlfriend booked the accommodation.
We arrived in Hobart at 9am, collected the hire car and by 11am we were climbing Mount Wellington. In the snow. Our son's girlfriend had never experienced snow and she was super excited at the age of 30 to build a snow man, throw snow balls and just enjoy the walk and the snow.
There was lots of reading and I swopped a book in the accommodation.
We took a ferry to Bruny Island. The next bit of land from here is Antarctica.
The wildlife was very obliging lining up under their sign.
No idea when we'll see child 3 next. We're planning to travel out here alternative years until we are no longer capable. We're back in the UK on Tuesday, then I start a new job the following Monday.
The accommodation looks fab and how fab for your son's girlfriend to experience the snow! She looks so happy!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a good trip. I hope you have a safe journey home. x

DeleteTasmania looks fabulous, how lovely of the local wildlife to oblige!
ReplyDeleteSafe journey home and best of luck with the new job.
it did make me chuckle when the wallaby lined up under it's photo for me
DeleteIt looks like you had a good time in Tasmania. The landscape looks beautiful. The joy on your son's girlfriend's face is priceless. I bet you can't wait to visit your son again. Good luck with your new job.
ReplyDeleteit'll be two years before our next visit
DeleteI have never experienced proper snow - I am 47 🤣 but it looks like such a lovely trip so far!
ReplyDeletethe novelty wears off Laura, it's very different from the movies
DeleteIt sounds like you are having a wonderful time. How brilliant to experience snow after never seeing it before. I used to love snow so much before I was disabled. I think the kangaroo under sign was very obliging too :)
ReplyDeleteSnow always looks magical for the first 15 mins then turns to disappointment
DeleteLooks like you've had a wonderful trip to Tasmania. How wonderful for your son's girlfriend to experience snow for the first time. I love the joy that comes across in the photo. Good luck with starting your new job x #WotW
