Day 5 - Tin Can Bay

Evening lovelies,

Another blissful day.  Crisp morning, beautiful sunny day and just a gentle breeze to keep the leaves rustling.

Up early again today , 8.30am is early isn’t it.  😁.

Chores done and then Rob, Gramps and I were off again to Inskip Point for a spot of fishing.  Sorry, but more beach photos today.



It was a glorious morning.  We saw lots of cars heading to and from Fraser Island on the barge.  He was certainly earning his money today.



I got nicely set up with the beach umbrella, a chair, and a foot stool.  I tried to do a spot of sketching to add to my journal, alas I was constantly distracted by the ocean.



The boys managed to catch 3 fish between them.  One was a toad fish, not really good eating.  The other two were whiting, but we decided they needed to go back to the nursery pretty quickly.



Back to the Van for lunch and the necessary nap from the early start.


With the outlook of rain for the weekend, the boys decided to take the annex down so that it would not have to be done later in the week.  While they did that Nana and I went for a short stroll to find the second hand store we saw a sign for.  Alas it was closed, so back home for afternoon nibbles and a glass of bubbles.


As our hunters did not gather any sustenance today, tonight it is dinner at the Snack Shack.



We have quickly adapted to life in the van.  Having Mum and Dad around on first this trip has certainly eased our way, and has been a huge blessing.  Being able to call on them when we have a question, or a perceived problem has been invaluable.  I wonder how different it will be when we have to fend for ourselves.





We are still learning to use the new camera, so I apologize for the quality of some shots.

Rob is off tonight having another shot at fishing, and I will be having a quiet night in the van.

All for tonight lovelies.

Have a fabulous night.

Lizzy

A magical day at Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers

Today was our planned helicopter ride to see the glacier and have a snow landing.    We were a tad worried as the weather report the night before was not all that encouraging.    We had a bit of a slow start and checked in at the flight desk at 10am as requested.     The advice was, the flight would go ahead - however with the changing weather conditions the snow landing would be determined on a minute by minute basis.    If the landing was scrapped we would have additional flight time added to keep our trip to the same length.    Honestly we were just happy to be able to take off. Safety briefing done, the loading crew led us to the helipads.    They were pretty cool.    Looked a little like landing pads for space craft.    The pads are made from the rocks that make up a large part of the landscape of the area.     We were given our assigned seats and Thomas (our pilot) got us sorted and...

Three days in the snow.

Hi lovelies, We have had the most amazing 3 days at the Perisher Valley Snowfields. Warning this is a very text heavy post.  Photos are limited, you cannot take many while you ski/board.  Robbie will have a video soon. On Monday we headed up just for a drive and to see what was around.   The day was perfect.   Not too windy and bright and sunny. We parked at Bullock Flats and caught the Skitube to Perisher.   This is really the best way to get there.   Nice highway all the way, and while the train is a little expensive at $55.00 per head return it is preferable to an extra hour drive on roads that may be a little less than ideal.   There is also only limited parking at Perisher so the train is the way to go.   We had a bit of a look around Perisher before heading off to Blue Cow, again by Skitube. It was so lovely to wander around.      We were thankful that we hired boots as it wa...
