Yes its amazing how many people don't know where Tassie is. I even had people say Tasmania is not Oz, eh!!!

I've had a couple confuse the Island with the Tanzania!!!

well we wouldnt go out and buy it but we have a little girl who comes to the door with it every wednesday tea time, just couldnt say no to her now its a weekly occurance

many people on this site included

here is that pic, its an adobe file so not sure if it will work?? it was in the paper early march and taken by someone flying over Bridport, I really didnt believe it but the reckon its true??

Looks pretty real to me.....maybe crystal clear waters aren't always a good thing!!!
The only sharks i've ever got skin close to are little reef sharks in the Maldives, and i dont plan to get close to anything bigger than that!!!!

If anyone's interested in seeing some ground and aerial photos of Tasmania. I’m hoping, in time, to include photos of every town and area on the island as we either visit or fly over them.

At the moment there are over 2,200 ground and aerial photos in 58 separate albums on my photobucket site covering a lot of the towns and areas on this island we have called home for 12 years now.

Cheers.

Now just have to find how to post a link, hopefully it will be below.

Hi Zoe, this is the gentlemen that kindly gave me the link for the photo's that i sent to you the other week....
Great pictures aren't they. I said myself that they all reiterate why we've chosen Tas as our destination of choice!

Hi Phil, i know i've said before - but your photo's are great. You should get a book published....

Me, Andy & Jared went to pick Andy's sister and her husband up from Heathrow Airport late yesterday afternoon, they'd come from Perth, via Singapore and Abu Dhabi. I tell you, if i was arriving in England for the 1st time from somewhere and it was that airport (i hate it) - then i'd wonder if perhaps i should turn around and go home!!!!

I really HATE that airport!!! don't start talking about aiports now or i'll start sobbing!!!....no holiday for me..not yet anyway (still working on that one!)
I wonder how long you would have to be in a new country before you have that 'want' to go on holiday

I wish I had a camcorder going just now ...you should have seen it...I was changing Heidis' nappy and lo and behold she hadn't finished and gave an almighty grunt and out it flew (bearing in mind shes' breastfed..extremly runny!) it shot across the carpet (beige carpet!) onto her nappy box and onto her clothes in the box!!! Unbelieveable much scrubbing and changing later and i thought i'd be kind and share it with you ...sorry if you are about to have dinner!!!

Nappy change from hell by the sound of it! Blimey if you'd manage to catch that on a camcorder you'd definitely be on one of those TV programmes with all the home video clips!
I think any Mums or Dad's amongst us have a similar story to tell about their kids! I'm sure it's a story the older boys will share with their mates at some point if they were about to witness it!

I hate Heathrow airport too - i normally try and avoid booking any flights that go from there if i can avoid it - that's why we flew to Oz with Emirates last year - because they have flights from Gatwick! No doubt we wont avoid going from Heathrow next time though!

I'm hoping we wont get the urge to go away quite so often once we're living in Tas - well not as much as we do living here! At least it'll be a new environment to explore and enjoy so i imagine it must be a while before you're settled and get itchy feet for new sights/etc - and i guess with those lovely beaches and clean water - it's not like us trying to escape the joys of Southend On Sea for a trip to the coast!

This time next week we'll be relaxing on our hols.....cant wait!
We're all doing the "how many sleeps till we go away" countdown now!

Hi Ian/Helena, I just remembered you have your run coming up next weekend!
Good Luck with it - I hope you do well - and enjoy yourselves on your trip to the mainland!
And have a great time meeting up with your friends from NZ.

take care
Cathy

Hi Jerzo,
I know that feeling, We are using clothe nappies, And the amount of times I get the new nappy under Hollie and she decides its time for a poo or a wee.
But she is a lovely baby, Even if last night she kept us all up.
Here is a picture of Hollie blaming it all on the bear!!!!

Thanks very much for your kind comments Cathy and Zoe
