View of Stanwell Park to Wollongong
Hubby and I were asked to go to a 60th Birthday Party in Tasmania. The great thing was that it fitted in with a lot of other things we need to see and do. First we decided to drive and go over by boat, on our first night we went via our Son's family down the South Coast, they were expecting third child and so we got to see their lovely new grand-daughter Sari only four hours old, we stayed in Yass that night.
The next day we drove to Melbourne, silly me I asked we change our route curteous of Google my Hubby had done and we ended up in a super duper peak hour traffic, just as bad as Sydney. We got to St Kilda and stayed the night, next morning we caught up with a long time friend Ashley and spent the day with him and his wife. Off on the Spirit of Tasmania, it was sooooo flat and calm wonderful as I don't like rough seas, we had a four birth cabin just for us two.

Arrived next morning in Tasmania and drove straight to
Coles Bay and
Freycinet both beautiful. We stayed for the night at a really beautiful spot at a place called
Edge by the Bay, a little wallaby came so close to us but is wasn't really that tame, but the next morning a mother and joey turned up. You can't feed them, they have plenty to eat. Photos below are where we stayed with a breakfast basket,
Wine Glass Bay, and a beautiful spot my favourite
Sleepy Bay.

On Way to Longford Tasmania
On the way to Longford we decided to stop at the Pancakes Cafe and then the Weldborough Pass Rainforest walk, we had done the Pass about thirtysomething years ago with our children, wow it has strunk in size, shame as it would be one of the most beautiful places we have been to.
Couldn't but take of photo of this great giant rock that some wonderful artist has done.

Photos below are from an amasing place, they were the Arthur Dynasty two brothers, one was very down to earth and other very wealthy, and certainly showed it by his property.
