Ella Grace

Busy week this week, my blind dad had minor operation on Monday morning at 6.30am at the Private Hospital, all went well.  Unfortunately things didn't quite go according to plan in the night so had him back into surgery by 7am the next morning, he was then admitted to same hospital and is gradually improving.

In the middle of this, we had our fourth grandchild born :) Ella Grace, both mother and baby are doing extremely well. Our son is doing well too!

Low Head, Tasmania, Australia

Went for a drive the other day was gone 5 hours.  Down one side of the Tamar River across the Batman Bridge and back down to the city of Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

Low Head is at the mouth of the Tamar River, a small town with a small population.

 One of the beaches at Low Head, looking towards Bass Strait.

My toes and my thong at Low Head.

A signal station was set up at Low Head in 1805.  It is Australia's oldest continuously used pilot station. The light house was built as in the tower 1883, but poorly constructed thus pulled down and another rebuilt in 1888.  These days it's unmanned but of course in use with all the modern workings.

Batman Bridge built between 1966 - 1968 was the first cable stayed bridge in Australia.

The grounds are lovely and green and many a camper is camped for free. Camping was not permitted once but obviously now it is!
