After a fairly lazy start to our morning, we headed out from our cottage to go and have a look around Strahan.  But we soon headed back to the cottage after a tearful Lucas suddenly remembered that he had left his teddy in his bed...and, well, you can't go on without your favourite teddy, right.  Soon Foxy was rescued (and was given a place of honour for the rest of the day hanging from the grab handle above Lucas' door) and Lucas was smiling again... (btw, he's not holding Foxy on this photo, but rather a snow globe that Shiana bought for him)


Then we headed up the beautiful walk trail to the Hoggath Falls.  Not as spectacular as the Nelson Falls but spectacular anyway....


We then headed through to Zeehan where we had some lunch - and Ashlyn insisted on a selfie with me...

We then headed through Rosebery, Tullah, Burnie, before taking a break in Penguin...

Lucas took a great liking to following our route along on the map, so Klya thought she should get into the act as well.  She was so funny, copying everything Lucas said.

We then drove through Ulverstone and Devenport before arriving in Launceston again around 545pm.  After a quick shop and a "hi" to Grandpa and Grandma, we headed back to Pig Mountain to cook dinner which we finally ate at around 7:30pm.  Another long day, but another blessed day too.  Hoping to have a fairly quiet day tomorrow before heading to Hobart on Friday, DV!

Goodnight!

P.s. These photos are all just from my phone...there are much better ones on my camera, but it's just too much of a pain to transfer them without a computer.

    it sounds as if you've had another busy day of sightseeing. Those ferns all over the place are beautiful, so lush and green. Can't remember visiting the Hoggath Falls, they do look nice on the photo Shiana put on whatsap.

This morning we went to Legana church. Stephen 'tHart was preaching there and he was there with his whole family (excepting Mim) and uncle Len as well. So we chatted to them and others after church including Rita's brother and his lovely wife. We nice chatting to different people. Between church services we went to Dad and Mum's for coffee and a delicious lunch. .... And for some necessary shut eye 😀 As they don't have crèche in the afternoons in Launceston, Andrew stayed home with Kyla in the afternoon, and Dad and Mum jumped in the car with me to go to church. We had another wonderful sermon from Pastor Wes and I chatted with a few people after church. The Pots were also there as were Richard and Lyn and family.

Last day

We spent our last morning in Tasmania cleaning and packing. Andrew took the the youngest to go and wash and dry two large loads of washing at the laundromat. Shiana and I stayed home and packed and cleaned. We had some lunch at home (finishing up some leftovers) and then headed to Dad and Mum's for Kyla to sleep. While she slept the rest of us went to the Launceston entertainment complex for some trampolining, laser tagging and other fun... Then we went back to Dad and Mum's for a delicious roast dinner with Suzanna and the kids as well. Dad and Mum hope to be at the airport tomorrow morning, but Suzanna and the kids can't... So we said our goodbyes to them. Poor Lucas had to go sit in the car to hide the fact that he had big tears in his eyes. He especially enjoyed his time playing with his cousin Lachlan which was really special. More goodbyes tomorrow... He's not going to like that... But then, neither do any of us. Goodbyes are never nice, but w...

Ashlyn and Lucas and Lachlan really wanted to go back to the swimming pool today, but we first decided to attend a couple of hours in City Park and have a picnic lunch there too. It was a lovely day for that. Poor Kyla managed to fall and do a face plant, consequently ending up with a scraped nose..  Then I dropped them off at the swimming pool while Shiana and I dropped Kyla off for a sleep at Dad Mum's. Once she was asleep, Shiana and I headed out for a spot of shopping. Shiana bought quite a few bargains before we went back to pick up the swimmers. After that we headed to Riverside motel for a meal with Dad and Mum age Suzanna and the kids. $16 mains are a bit hard to resist 😀
