A little Holiday in Tasmania
My husband works hard and we only get one weeks holiday a year as a family. This year we made the trip across the Tasman to Tasmania. It’s the middle of winter so it was freezing. Tasmania is known for it’s fresh produce, great wine and cheeses and wilderness filled with the most amazing flora and fauna.
Here are a few snaps from our journey across the ‘Apple Isle’.
