Week 31/2021: walking
Week 31/2021: Week of 2 August 2021 What did I want to do better this week? This week I was trying to get myself out of bed early enough to go for a walk. I set the target of doing it for five mornings, because I leave the house...
Channelling (Day 3) – 12 of 12 July 2015
A very belated conclusion to our weekend in the D’Entrecasteaux Chanel in July. Sunday was going home day. We had another leisurely breakfast and coffee. Lots of coffee, before packing up and checking out. (Pro tip: If you ask your 8 year old to get everything of theirs out...
Project Life – multiphoto page
I’ve often though about doing a full page photo in the divided page protectors because they can look stunning. Also it’s cheaper to print 6 4×6 photos than a 12×12 enlargement. (Welcome to Tightarse Tuesday, a new regular feature on this blog.) I finally decided to give it a...
Bruny – day 3
The final day of our mini break and it was time to pack up the campsite and head home. We weren’t sure what the queue for the ferry would be like, and didn’t want to get home too late, so we decided to just do a couple of things...
Bruny – day 2 (part 3)
After we’d finished exploring Cape Bruny (Day 2, Part 2), we still had enough time to head back to north Bruny and visit the Get Shucked Oyster Bar and Bruny Island Cheese Factory. Get Shucked was great. You can buy oysters to eat there with a beverage of your...
Bruny – day 2 (part 2)
After lunch on Day 2, we headed south to Cape Bruny Lighthouse. Most of the road is unsealed, and it was a lovely drive. To get to the lighthouse, you drive through part of South Bruny National Park. There are two main sections of this park at the southernmost...
Bruny Island – day 2 (part 1)
This morning we woke to a few spots of rain. Juniordwarf was quite upset by this and demanded an umbrella. When we told him there wasn’t one, he said he’d get his own umbrella. The nearest available umbrella-type object was the cover of his camp chair. Innovative. Today’s maximum...
Bruny Island – day 1 (part 2)
My criteria for a campsite are quite simple. I like my comforts. Specifically, I like to stay somewhere with an “amenities block”. I have done roughing it camping (aka Proper Camping) in the distant past, so to distinguish that from what we normally do, I shall refer to our...
Bruny Island – day 1 (part 1)
We usually have at least one camping trip in January. This year we decided to go to Bruny Island, which is a place that apparently everyone in Tasmania, except for us, has been to at least once. Whenever I’d I say I’d never been there, people would look at...
