Have to ask wife about where in Tassie - think they went on school trips from Melbourne. Its funny but generations ago my family moved there from Cornwall during the Ballarat mining boom.
Well better go and do some more packing

Driving up to the hot pools at Waiwera after just getting my license. Ahh thought we were so cool in our old Monaro. Life was so much simpler back then.
