Memories of times

Life is full of wonderful surprises and blessings. Unless it is captured and treasured they will be lost in the sand of time. The greatest joy is to be able to share precious memories of time together as we meet in our life journey.

These are moments we see and laugh at ourselves, experience the joy and laughter at how things turn out to be... unexpectantly.

Come into this world of God's blessings

CLOSE-UP VIEW OF THE TASMANIAN DEVIL


Dance with the goat

Geoff's hideaway has 4 goats (one named Annabelle) to mow his 7-acre field. One joyful experience was to feed them. They are like the munching machines, the food disappeared before you can blink your eyes. Here is a pic of how to convince a goat you've exhausted your supply of food for them by"dancing with the goat"!

CHICKEN-FACE FLOWER

Spotted this flower at Ross General Store -Bakery Tearooms in the town called Ross, on our way to Hobart. Look closely and you will see the face of a chicken?

CLIFF HANGER'S PARADISE


The cliff at Cape Tourville Lighthouse. It is a captivating sight with blue waters, white surfs and on-going nature water splashing against the rocks. Wow!

POPPY FIELDS


Poppies?! Yes, it is legalised and cultivated. Planted along the Eastcoast highway of Tasmania. Not an uncommon sight as you drive along the coast. The fields are fenced and stretches out for miles. The only difference is they are white and not red poppies in the Golden Triangle as seen in ducumentary videos.

These are cultivated for production of morphine for hospital use. Definitely not a tourist tour itinery, right?

RARE TWIN ROSE


Beautiful, fresh and exotic flowers spread the roadsides and florish in house gardens are common sights in Tasmania. Example is this beautiful hugh rose. Double buds! Geoff being a jungle man was able to spot them from all the rose plants there. This is real beauty.

GEOFF & SUE'S HIDE-AWAY

The Tasmania home owned by Geoff and Sue. They hosted us for 10 days in this comfortable place. It was homely with warm beds, sitting areas and big big big gardens and many fields to run around.
All the houses in this area have unique designs and shapes... why? Because they build their own houses! The main gate to the front door is some 150 metres away running between big fields and sloping forest... lots of gum trees.
Evening time you see Wallabies running around ... looks like tiny Kangaroos. They are fast!
If you wish to stay here and be prepared for lots of hard work daily .... wow! Meals are mostly home cooked. Geoff shared how he salt salted eggs. You don't get them here.

Wow, tough walk up the Wineglass Bay lookout!

NICE PIC -Rest Point

The park management knew some needed rest places along the way and built one like this. This is about halfway up the climb. Where are the rest of them?
No wonder this happen to her. She had slippers instead of shoes!


Tasmania Holiday 30 Nov to 10 Dec 2010

Call it the Wineglass experience. Drunk by the sight.

At the Wineglass Bay lookout point ... one favourite tour point in Tasmania. The leisurely climb up took us 40 minutes, but for some maybe more. Geoff and Susan our enthusiastic guides and hosts, must have climbed and hike these areas again and again.


Must go spot for Tasmanian visitors... fresh wind and nice summer weather for us.
