Tailrace Park and Estuary is on the other side of the City of Launceston in the suburb of Trevallyn.
There is a playground for the children, barbecue area, grass, footpath that goes far. We all as in eldest son's little children have spent many a birthday party in the area when they were very young. The children said they are too old to go there now for their birthdays - now aged 9 and 7...😄
These photos were taken about July and the Estuary is on the Western side of the Tamar River.
Margaret, children grow up and sometimes we don't realize it. When we talk about our son, as an adult, we don't say to him: my baby ... my baby ...?
ReplyDeleteYes the children do go up quickly more so than some.
DeleteКакие лебеди красивые! Они так свободно себя чувствуют.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely swans one of my favourite birds, yes, they are free to fly or swim anywhere - they are lucky.
DeleteWhat a glorious area. Your grandchildren might be (temporarily) too old for it - but I would not be, and would welcome being taken there as a birthday treat.
ReplyDeleteThey just think they are too old for a gathering there at this point in their lives. Other things to explore.
DeleteIt's a really nice area.
What a beautiful area to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice place.
DeleteBeautiful Black Swan images, we have a few, escaped from a Zoo. Excellent spot to watch in.
ReplyDeleteOh well, easy for them to escape I expect, just fly off.
DeleteNo faltaba de nada para que la familia se sintiera feliz.
ReplyDeleteSon muy bellas las imágenes que has captado, en tus fotografías.
Besos
Thank you. We always had a good time there with each of the families.
DeleteOh so lovely

ReplyDeleteIndeed they are Andrew, they think they are :)
DeleteThe black swans are superb!!
ReplyDeleteElegant are swans Duta.
DeleteSoon the kiddies will realise they will never be to old to visit and enjoy such a beautiful area! :)
ReplyDeleteVery true Lee.
Deletewow black swans are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed but so are white one which we don't often see here.
DeleteWhat a beautiful area it is there.
ReplyDeleteI really like the black swans.
Greetings Irma
It is lovely area and I presume you are used to white swan which we don't see very often.
DeleteA beautiful area. I think that all the kiddies think alike but very soon they will appreciate the nature and the beautiful areas.
ReplyDeleteI like the black swans.
It is indeed a pretty area and we don't see white swans very often if at all.
DeleteA beautiful place for young and old. I would enjoy such places.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. Black Swans are lovely, I presume you are used to white ones.
DeleteThe image of those Black Swans takes me right back to Australia! I keep trying to plan a return visit, but COVID gets in the way and now airline tickets cost a king's ransom, and travel insurance is expensive and restrictive. I am wondering if I will ever be able to return.
ReplyDeleteWell hopefully one day you might get here again. The Australia border is closed once again for another 2 weeks to various people. Can't keep up with it all as it's forever changing and people are losing their money left right and centre.
DeleteBlack Swans look great! I love them. We mostly see white ones here. Have a wonderful newweek to you Dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We don't see white swans here very often, I can't recall when I last saw a white one.
DeleteLets change the swans! LOL!
DeleteMari, the swans are such a graceful bird, and we don't see white ones very often.
ReplyDeletehehe... too old at age 9 and 7?....
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos... love them all.
Amusing it is when they say that at their age...lol
DeleteBeautiful place in Tasmania 😃! I like the swans 🦢.
ReplyDeleteThank you...it's a good place to live here in Tasmania, Australia
DeleteWow those black swans!!I have only seen one, once it had escaped from a farm
ReplyDeleteVery nice place to stay too ,for the children and families to have a picknic outdoor
We don't see white swans only on an odd occasion and I can't recall when I last saw a white swan..
DeleteHermosos los cisnes negros. Disfruta del buen tiempo amiga. Por aquí no nevó ya.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
No snow, well that is good..
DeleteLovely photographs, especially the two with the Black Swans in.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Beautiful creatures are swans.
DeleteStunning photos and of course the swans are exceptional.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteMe encanta la placidez que despiden tus imagenes
ReplyDeleteUn saludo, amiga
Thank you.
DeleteSe ve todo precioso y los cisnes negros también, por aquí no se ven. Abrazos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa and we don't see white swans here either.
DeleteYour swans over there are so beautiful! I have seen them on holiday, once a pair at a temple in Hawaii and the others in an English town near my old home back in the UK. I love the white in their tail feathers, such a beautiful contrast to their black feathers and red beak. A gorgeous bird! Thank you for those lovely scenic shots and the maps. Happy December to you Margaret!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Denise, and thank you.
DeleteThe white against the black does look good, I didn't realise there was so much white on the black swan.
It looks beautiful, idela for that birthday celebrations, meetings with family and friends enjoying nature.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
Oh yes it’s ideal for that, many people do use it especially in warmer weather.
Deleteawesome shots ,loved the water sooo much ,my type of place indeed :)
ReplyDeletei agree that in older times people stick with their childhood for longer period but now children are mature early and for mature fun is rare and hard to obtain :)
blessings!
