The Lighthouse near the mouth of the Mersey River in Devonport, Tasmania helps guide The Spirit of Tasmania and a few freight ships into the river to berth. The lighthouse was built on a stone base and is made of bricks, was built in 1889.
We had to visit Devonport last Monday for an appointment with the Financial Adviser our yearly appointment, all was well.
We also went to the Cemetery the Lawn one to visit my parents grave and I placed new artificial flowers there.
Then on Wednesday for the evening meal, dinner, our second eldest granddaughter came for dinner by herself for the very first time. What a surprise and we had a wonderful time with her. It will be her 18th birthday on Saturday the 4th of April.
Our clocks move back 1 hour on the 5th of April and also on that day, Easter Sunday is our 3rd Granddaughter's 14th birthday.
The photos here in this section are of the Bluff at Devonport and behind where I'm taking the photo from is the Bluff Caravan Park where we used to stay in our caravan after my parents passed. Sometimes we would just take a drive to the Bluff and not take the caravan as Devonport is just over 1 hour drive from home. The sea is Bass Strait.
That's a beautiful lighthouse you're showing, and it looks tall. Congratulations on your granddaughter's 18th birthday! It was nice that she visited you! The clocks here have been set forward an hour, because we now have daylight saving time.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Tall lighthouse! Do they turn the clocks back there? We just turned them forward an hour.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, it seems that the winds over there are very strong, I see that the branches of that tree are turning to one side.
ReplyDeleteDear Margaret, what a pretty lighthouse. Happy Birthday to your daughter ❤️
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
I like that lighthouse , Margaret. Its colours are the same as I see here.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your granddaughter's birthday 🥂
Greetings,

It's a beautiful lighthouse and I love the gnarled tree in the picture just above the map. I like your Easter header picture too.
ReplyDeleteI think they may have built the Devonport lighthouse in its exact position in honour of your late parents. It is a grand memorial.
