In general kids were just πŸ‘, played with each other, looked out for each other, walk distances like Olympic champions, poured their hearts into their travel diaries, cried hungry all the time, cried for no reason "sometimes", have eaten like army squad and got really dirty daily:) very happy times indeed!!!
Time to go home everyone, Thank you for beautiful memories to treassure forever!!!

Time to go back

Launceston and Holly 13th πŸŽ‰

Great day at Launceston. Beginning at stunning Cataract Gorge , easy ride on the chairlift ( longest suspension between the poles in the world!) with short walk around and over the Aleksandra Suspension Bridge.
Later on Dads visited National Automobile Museum, both pretty chuffed about it, while the rest enjoyed lunch at the local Park, with jolly ride train, cute monkeys enclosure and playground.
Finally we celebrated Holly's birthday with dinner at KFC and night in the movies, "sing" for kidlets, "la la land" for mums and "Star Wars " for dads. Big 13 and already promising photographer:).
We started with crazy wet weather and finish with good dose of rain as well,  followed by late night drying some bedding, Kristy and Sophie crushing in Jumzo' s palace and late night for all.
Lucky sun was out this morning and we packed up our "homes away from home" ready to head back to mainland!

North east Tasmania 2

Today to enjoyed more driving in this beautiful place and visited few interesting places:
- Bridestowe Lavender Farm - something definetly for me and Lydia, as the rest of the group appeared hardly interested. Just the view of the long stretches of blooming lavender fields ready to harvest was mind blowing, in addition we got to learn all the information about growing, harvesting, types, producing the oil and other use of lavender flower, with aroma in the air and testing some oil on our wrists.
- Bass and Flinders centre in George Town, with replica of Norfolk Ship, we all got to walk on it as well as check all the cabins under the deck, kids definitely enjoyed it while adults appreciated history lesson from very knowledgeable but mildly cranky older guide lady:)
-  Kev and Domi ventured to explore Beaconsfield Historic Gold Mine, Domi was very excited after fossicking few pieces of "gold" and Kev shared all the stories with us at the dinner time
- Seahorse world in Beauty Point - the only seahorse farm in the world, very exciting place with multiple species of see horses, breeding programme, babies and pregnant male( the only species of fauna where male carries the pregnancy and gives birth!!!) and even ability to touch a few:)
- hope Tooth fairy doesn't get sea sick, travelling back and forth to Tasmania- this time Miss Lexi lost her front tooth!

After all those adventures we arrived in Launceston for our last set up  ⛺️
