Watson's Bay with Roger & Jocelyn

On Sunday, Roger, Jocelyn and I went to Watson's Bay for a walk to The Gap and The Hornsby Lighthouse.  And of course, we had fish and chips, braving the usual very aggressive sea gulls. It's always so lovely to spend time with Roger. Lots to catch up on.

Walk with Roger & Jocelyn

Roger and Jocelyn came to Sydney and it was wonderful to meet up with them.  We walked from Darling Harbour to Circular Quay where we had a delicious Messina Icecream.

Catch up with Roger

 Roger came to Sydney for a few days and it was lovely to catch up.  We went to a great Thai place for dinner, finished off with Messina Ice-cream, the best ice-cream in all of Sydney.

Launceston

We explored the Cataract Gorge on the "inclinator" and then admired their resident peacocks.  

Roger and Jocelyn stayed on in Launceston as they needed to get the ferry back to Melbourne the next day.  Russell and I hired a car and drove to Mount Fields as we had two days left to explore.

If you look carefully, you can see the little Joey.

Near Cradle Mountain

Tasmania experienced its biggest snow fall of the year just before we went.  Unfortunately this meant that Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake were inaccessible but this didn't stop us from having lots of playful fun in the snow.

Waterfall Walk

The lodge where we stayed had two awesome walks in the surrounding mountains with some beautiful waterfalls.  It was wonderful to get out into the mountains again with Russell.

Stanley

Stanley was a lovely, sleepy town on the northern coast of Tasmania. We stayed in a cosey place close to the water.  Thankfully they had a powerful heater as the weather was extremely brisk!  We all went for an invigorating walk on the hill overlooking the town and enjoyed some great views.
