Snow again.

Ben Lomond taken through the window at home here in Launceston, Tasmania.  There certainly has been some good snowfalls in the mountains and high country in Tasmania this winter, however none here at home as usual.  Now we are in spring the wind has come with days being a little warmer but the wind makes you feel cold.

Cradle Mountain above and below which is along the northwest coast and inland.  There is a Hotel and a caravan park there and a bus shuttle that takes you to the base of the mountain to take walks on different paths in the area but not advised when the weather isn't the best.  The photo below when there is not snow on Cradle Mountain.  I borrowed Cradle Mountain with snow and the photos below which we all taken in the high country. The photo without snow is mine.

The Parrots

It's a special day today, my husband has reached a milestone as in birthdays. We are going out to dinner this evening with family and friends for his OBE, = 80th. 

Rainbow Lorikeets are found in the Eastern seaboard of Australia including South Australia and Perth in Western Australia a pretty parrot.  They when in flock are rather noisy especially around dusk. They eat fruit, seeds, insects and so on.  Both male and female are the same.

These photos were taken in Bowen in Queensland.
