Saturday Breakfast.

We have been cooking our eggs and bacon outside in the barbeque area on the Weber Q.

We have peach and mango smoothies with breakfast.

They are so refreshing.

Breakfast all dished up.  Gotta love Saturday mornings.

Olivia and Gerrard's Birthday last weekend.

We had a lovely Saturday afternoon celebrating Olivia's 19th Birthday and Gerrard's 40+ Birthday last weekend.  It was great to catch up with everyone, as we only get to see Gerrard's side of the family at birthdays.

and catching up with everyone for a double birthday celebration.

 

Trowunna Wildlife Park

We spent a lovely morning at Trowunna Wildlife Park at Mole Creek, we could pat the wombat and Tasmanian Devil.  It was a cold frosty start to the day but was so much fun.

rescued and unable to survive in the wild.

The wombats are also rescued and are being looked after until 

they are big enough and old enough to survive in the wild.

 We went to visit the 41 Degrees South Salmon Farm and had a walk around the property to the Montana Waterfall.

King Solomons Cave

 We had a tour of King Solomons Cave, which was discovered in 1906 and first opened to the public in 1908.  There are over 200 caves and sink holes in the Mole Creek area.  Marakoopa Cave and King Solomons Cave are the two main ones open to the public. The cave was really spectacular that the photos don't do it justice.

Lovely sunny day along the path to the cave entrance.

Bush Walk to Alum Cliffs.

 We went for a little bush walk on Saturday to the Alum Cliffs also known as Tulampanga.

I'm rubbish at selfies LOL.

The falcons were flying in the distance, too far away to get a good photo of.

We saw lots of rainbows that day.  It was difficult to get a good picture of them sometimes.
