Visitors

Before other people arrived we were visited by several ducks, these two felt comfortable with our company so went to sleep whilst we were on holiday.  Early in our stay we took a drive down the road and saw some black swans.

Santa, Christmas Eve

Santa came via the Jet boat on the river that's at the bottom of the caravan park as usual on Christmas Eve, presents were handed out to children staying in the park.

The park owner below along with Santa who is wearing a life jacket and has his sack over his shoulder.





Christmas lights on the caravan they blinked.  The photo was taken late in the evening however I should have taken the shot when dark.  We were opposite the river once again.

Sunset

Didn't get many sunset photos due to the weather, most nights it was very cloudy at Huonville.



The Tyre

We were not far from Huonville when somethings seemed wrong with the caravan, a flat tire on the caravan!  Yes!  It certainly made a noise a man stopped in front of us to make sure we knew then he continued on.

I phoned RACT = Royal Automobile Club of Tasmania of which I'm a member, a man came and changed the tyre as we were near a very busy highway, the side of the road was gravel, my husband isn't able to bend down on the ground to change the tyre and if you pay for this service, use it when necessary.
We only had to wait a short time as in less than one hour and we were on our way to the tyre shop in Huonville and bought 4 new tyres and book in to have them all changed on the caravan the next day even though the tyres were all ok but showing sign of 'sun age' it was best said the tyre people, the tyres had been on the caravan for awhile.  We were happy with that even though the tyre people would be thinking of money.

The offending tyre, I managed to take photo between the cars flying down the highway.

Mt. Beauty.

Mt. Beauty is in southern Tasmania Huonville.   The mountain is 366m high a sometimes I'm told has a dusting of snow on it in winter.  can be seen from the main street/highway in Huonville.  We set off to take a photos of her but couldn't get a closer one from a different angle because it's farmland around that area and several farm houses near by and people don't like you walking on their property.

One of our grandchildren looking in the river for little fish.

Mt. Beauty, if you look hard use your imagination you can see the lady lying down, with a forehead at the top and a nose along with a chin...can you see?

Heading up the East Coast from Hobart this part of the road is windy and photos taken out the window of the vehicle as we drove along.

Another Sunday Drive. Last in the Series.

 More of another Sunday drive down Huonville way, Tasmania Australia.  More countryside and as you can see for autumn time there isn't a lot of colour other than many shades of green.

Sunday Drive

More photos of the Sunday drive down Huonville way.  Most photos were taken whilst moving in the car.



Bales of Hay most likely.


 As you drive around the Huonville area you see these large apple shed and apples for sale, it's help yourself to the produce for a fee.  The apples are kept in a fridge by the farmer/orchardist.


The above photo is of a small area of a cherry farm.
