The backyard in Huonville Caravan Park.

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.

    1. Summer is a Boochon breed, very placid and never barks.
      Everything we needed, we are lucky.

    1. I'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 :)

  3. Son muy útiles los tendedero portátiles y ocupa poco espacio una vez recogido.

    Muy bonitas las fotografías.

  4. 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.

  5. That 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.

    1. That washing machine is not that heavy, K carries it by herself :) Don't think I could but she is much younger than I.
      The drum certainly sent out the heat - not sure where R got it from, one certainly wouldn't take a good firepit there.

  8. Nature at its best is out in the habitat, not sitting by a campfire listening to random sounds, pleasant though that may be.

    1. Just across the river which is not wide in that area - too many poisonous snakes about to be amid the bush David. Not safe.

  10. It's been a half century since I've seen a clothes line like that--- and it's portable! You certainly know some great places.

    1. Really 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.

  11. It looks idyllic - camping in lovely weather besides a river. Your little red haired granddaughter is growing up very quickly.

    1. Miss 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.

  12. A 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.

    1. Guess you were not wrapped in oysters - they are not everyones cut of tea Nancy :)
      Many people love camping and many don't.

    1. Freedom to play in a larger area is always good for the children.
      It 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.

  17. 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.
