The Rabbit

During our holiday we ventured into Hobart the Island's Capital City to visit my 1st cousin now 81, we have always been close even though we live at each end of the Island.  
The photo below is of her grandchild and her bunny who cousin was going to babysit for 4 days.
The young lady is my 3rd cousin whom I know fairly well.

Franklin, Tasmania

Came through Franklin on our way back to Huonville after the daily drive south.
Franklin is a small village on the western side of the Huon River in the south-east of Tasmania, between Huonville and Geeveston.

There are a couple of Island between the two shores, Egg Islands.

On top of Mt. Wellington, Tasmania, Australia

It's always a nice feeling to be on top of a mountain, and Mt. Wellington is in southern area of Tasmania  with Hobart our Capital city at the foot of it's hills.
The mountain can be seen from many points and areas around Hobart.  I was very lucky to be up there on such a clear day to capture these photos.

Mt. Wellington is 1,271m high was first climb in 1798.

Glenorchy Family Picnic.

Tolosa Park is situated in Glenorchy not that far from the foot of Mt. Wellington.
Each year my late mother's family get together with their friends and we all have a picnic, sometimes some can't come, but then others can.  We all take food from our homes and share it, most of the meat is barbecued.
My husband and I leave home about 2 and half hours to get there by midday, and we arrive home about 11pm in the evening time, making it a lovely long day which was Sunday.

At the park there are 'huts' as they are called which are payed for in advance and booked so one can use.  There are tables and chairs plus bench seating.  The huts each have a different name and are built not the same.  There is a garbage bin, barbecue and water.  There is also a playground not that far away for the children.

Symphony under the stars is also held in the park once in awhile, mostly in summer.






Logs to sit on.
