After a full day of food adventures, I came home to the 3500 sq ft farmhouse I am staying in at present, to enjoy snacks in the "pub"- just one of the many rooms in this sprawling residence- followed by spaghetti bologonese with the most delicious Boundary Shiraz from Clare Valley region in Southern AUS. What a lovely way to wrap up a day! My host parents are spoiling me (as all host parents do) and my host dad drove me home in the TAS police cruiser (he is a policeman). He is taking me golfing in Davenport on Thursday with another officer and the sargent, so I will be sure to be on my best behaviour!!
I will be rising at 7 am to help tend to the cattle and sheep on the farm before heading up Cradle Mountain with the girls (and Gary!) and our local friends/ guides.
The good news is we all have plenty of "reserve"nutrients after today, so should we enjoy the view and wish to camp out for a few days, or weeks, on the mountain top, we will be just fine...
Earlier today we also got to cuddle with a friendly and sleepy wombat- that was great.
The tasmanian devils feeding on some roadkill was a memorable experience- the audio was more disturbing than the visual, but again, we shall spare you the video footage for now, but it will surely be coming to a screen near you very soon!
Hi Sis! You are looking beautiful in your photos! Behave yourself out golfing with the police today :) I can't wait to see pics from the mountain top!
