We’ve just come back from a lovely weekend away with our dear friends, the Smiths. We went to Southport. We also visited Cockle Creek. Cockle Creek is the most southern driveable road in the country. It’s a shame that the road is so terrible. It was so slippery and slidey! Just as our cars were slipping on the loose gravel, we noticed another car that had rolled into the ditch at the side of the road! Still, we have lived to tell the tale that we have been to the bottom of the country – er – world.

It was great to get away for a weekend. It was lovely to spend time with our friends; they are the closest thing to family that we have here. Even though the children all look like they could easily be cousins, we are only related because Monte’s sister is married to Ben’s brother!

We are having many wonderful adventures in beautiful Tasmania!
