Fun at Huonville, Tasmania

Now I'm delving into photos and a video or two taken not long ago, in this instance it was Christmas last 2019 when eldest son, his wife and their two little ones, my husband and myself took our caravans to a place down south called Huonville Tasmania for a Christmas Holiday. 
There is a river /small one at the back of the property of the Caravan Park.
 
The first is a video of Miss E who was then 7 years of age blowing bubbles behind out caravan. The bubbles being normal pace then are slow motion. Video goes for 15 sec, if you blink you might miss it :)


 Then we have Santa who paid a visit Christmas Eve day to give all children a gift 2019

 
 
 We did our best to make it look like Christmas, so we bought this little Christmas Tree that has several different patterns to choose from, we chose the one that changed colours  and tied the tree to the table in case the wind got up.


Miss E found a 4 leaf clover and the two photos below are sparklers which were lit by the fire in a drum, she is trying to make a circle which eventually did happen after many sparklers.
Son and myself had a good time with our phones to get the correct effect.



Where the marker is, that's where we were plus you can see Launceston in the north, that's where we live.

Blackwood Creek, Tasmania

Day visit to Blackwood Creek when restrictions were lifted on driving with in the State of Tasmania in June 2020.
The photos are phone ones.  
We started out for a short drive to Longford to buy some meat at the abattoir shop which we often do and ended up going further. 
Longford is a country town about 19 minutes drive from home.

 Blackwood Creek is a small community at the base of the Great WesternTiers in Tasmania.  There are only about 134 people living there.  It's a farming area with a creek running through it with great flat stones in some areas of the creek.  Years ago we got some of these rock/stones to go around the fish pond which we don't have now, we have a smaller one with no fish.

The Western Tiers are on the right of some of the photos.




We drove up a hill and intended to continue, we came to a dead end!
