Turners Beach, Tasmania

Finished Easter Holiday down at Huonville so back to Holiday in March along the North West Coast of Tasmania, Australia.  The sunset photo was taken back in March 1999 - yes, a very long time ago and I presume the camera would have been my second one purchased.

The photos other than the sunset are of the Forth River next to Turners Beach, Tasmania, Australia.

Forth River at Turners Beach.

The Forth River flowing into Bass Strait.  Just around the corner is a small village called Turners Beach, there is a caravan park there. We used to stay a lot at the caravan park not in busy times and towards the end of our lease and when we no longer had the Garden Centre, if Staff needed us at the weekend we were not far away, that's before we retired!  In those days we had another caravan which served us well.
 
Even though I was a Registered Nurse for several years and nursing I made a career change and joined my husband in his work that being a Nurseryman and Horticulturist. We had a Garden Centre and Nursey, sold Giftware and all manner of things. The people that owned the building and business my husband had managed it for many years, the day it opened in fact then together we leased that business for several years. We worked long hours 7 days a week and rarely took holidays. 
I loved it, similar to nursing in one way.
Now that garden centre and nursery is closed after many people leased it and then the building sold.
From memory our business was one of the first to have a 'homepage' on the internet :) Wonderful memories.

Turners Beach sunset.  Always can count on a reasonable sunset from this beach which I might add is rather pebbly.  Horses and riders sometimes ride along the beach, there are stairs from the caravan park to the beach.

Forth, Tasmania

Forth is a small village about 110 km from home (Launceston).  It's a rural town with the Forth River running into Bass Strait.
These photos were taken in 2015 from a hill over looking the Forth River, town, Highway and some farming land - crops.
