Cape Portland

While the kids were on their annual Queensland Adventure, to catch up with their Dad and extended family I decided to take a little adventure of my own. Well mine and the dog's adventure. I packed up some camping equipment and jumped in the car. We drove up the north east corner of Tassie. Up through Scottsdale, out to Pyegana to get some cheese and then back up to Gladstone and through to Cape Portland. I had read that there was a campsite that was dog friendly so I thought we'd go check it out. We stayed at Petal Point (Lemon Beach) and what an amazing spot it is. There was only 2 other campers there and the dog and I had the beach to ourselves. We walked the length and I sat and read while he explored. He was very well behaved. Although, he wasn't really exceptional at settling in the tent.

Dinner doesn't have to be boring just because you're camping :)

Little Musselroe Bay was spectacular too!

Much of my early years I was terrified of standing on one of these and yet this is the first one I have ever seen.

No Mum! I will not go for another walk with you. Let me get back to the tent, the sea air has me exhausted. xx

Hanging with the neighbour

So, I used to have a fantastic next door neighbour; I moved, so i now I have a fantastic friend. We have spent a bit of time together in the last few weeks. It has been so fun. Hiking in Mole Creek. We trekked all the way out to Devil's Gullet - what an amazing view and the wind blowing up the cliff at us was very cool. From echidnas to single travellers at Aluminum Cliffs we had a ball. Mmmmm Pizza Capers Calzone 2 for $6.95 really put a smile on the dial! We threw in a movie 'The Water Diviner'it was really an exceptional movie. We went dancing at the casino, we even went blueberry picking. It is great to have great friends!
