There is a washing machine and clothesline provided but my myself and my daughter in law like to use our own. K's washing machine is a portable handy one where as mine is built in in the caravan.
I have one of these portable clotheslines too but don't often use it as we string a line underneath the awning, K found our awing clothes line handy when the weather wasn't favorable.
The drum is for the fire in the very late afternoon and we didn't always light one.
Two of our grandchildren with their bikes which they rode on the road around the caravan park.
Sparklers are great for making circles in the dark and are much fun for the children as well as the camera person, in this case me.
It was very pleasant sitting outside in the evening by the campfire listening to the kookaburras the birds, and of course occasionally we would hear the Tasmanian Devils screeching and fighting. Tasmanian nature at it's best.
Where that X is that's our caravan.
The dogs name is Summer and belongs to the children.
Below are Tasmanian Oysters from Bruny Island which were lovely. A friend phoned and asked if we would like some Bruny Island fresh Oysters, of course our son said yes. They were a little expensive, but that didn't matter. Our son and myself were the only ones to eat a dozen each :) for lunch -
Natural of course.
What a nice place to stay at. You have everything you need and enjoyed your stay, can't beat that. Summer is cute, what a nice looking dog.
ReplyDeleteSummer is a Boochon breed, very placid and never barks.
DeleteEverything we needed, we are lucky.
Oh, that looks like so much fun! Your grandchildren will remember these days for the rest of their lives.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they will remember Cynthia. We don't see a great deal of them even though they only live about 5km away - they are so busy and go to bed early :)
DeleteSon muy útiles los tendedero portátiles y ocupa poco espacio una vez recogido.
ReplyDeleteMuy bonitas las fotografías.
Besos
Yes they don't take much room.
DeleteVery useful.
It looks and sounds lovely. And even the thought of sparklers makes me smile. I suspect that many of us have very happy memories of them.
ReplyDeleteStill making memories of sparklers EC - so much fun for the young and older person :)
DeleteThat is one serious fire drum and a step up from a 44 gallon drum. Portable or not, the washing machine must weigh a bit. I think I would prefer your built in one. Very nice looking oysters.
ReplyDeleteThat washing machine is not that heavy, K carries it by herself :) Don't think I could but she is much younger than I.
DeleteThe drum certainly sent out the heat - not sure where R got it from, one certainly wouldn't take a good firepit there.
Caravaning has come a long way, not roughing it so much now days
ReplyDeleteIt sure has Jo-Anne, we expect more luxuries as we get older, well I do :)
DeleteOoh for those oysters.
ReplyDeleteI would be in food heaven.

They were lovely oysters and so large - went down well with the lemon.
DeleteNature at its best is out in the habitat, not sitting by a campfire listening to random sounds, pleasant though that may be.
ReplyDeleteJust across the river which is not wide in that area - too many poisonous snakes about to be amid the bush David. Not safe.
DeleteSuch a fun time with your family, great photos!
ReplyDeleteIt sure was Denise.
DeleteIt's been a half century since I've seen a clothes line like that--- and it's portable! You certainly know some great places.
ReplyDeleteReally about that clothes line - we have one in our back yard and I use it all the time, it's same design as the little one but larger.
DeleteIt looks idyllic - camping in lovely weather besides a river. Your little red haired granddaughter is growing up very quickly.
ReplyDeleteMiss E is a sweet one, she enjoys learning and performing ballet as I did years ago. E is grown up for her age as many young ones are.
DeleteA great place to stay. Camping is one that I have not experienced. Outdoor life is fun when the weather is fine and cool. I have eaten fresh oyster once only.
ReplyDeleteGuess you were not wrapped in oysters - they are not everyones cut of tea Nancy :)
DeleteMany people love camping and many don't.
Se ve un lugar precioso, me encanta. Las ostras no me gustan. Besos.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely place.
DeleteMany people don't like oysters :)
It looks a very nice place to stay.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your photographs.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan
Deleteoh that river passing by kooks gorgeous ,reminds me our village river that looked like exactly this one ,thank you for sharing dear friend!
ReplyDeletebeautiful images ,your grand kids look lovely ,and area is heavenly indeed
Thank Baili.
DeleteWhat a beautiful and peaceful place, it must be really nice to be able to appreciate all this beauty.
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren must love being able to play with all that freedom, they will certainly be wonderful memories.
A big hug
Freedom to play in a larger area is always good for the children.
DeleteIt was and is very peaceful there even with many people being there. No dogs barked, no noise after 10pm, no noise early in the morning either. Great place.
These very oily oysters are very appetizing and these green landscapes in the heart of the summer which evoke certain places in Europe have a restful sweetness.
