The Bay of Fires, which truly lived up to it's name, you can see the very heavy smoke in the background from burning off nearby...
The penguins that come in each night at Bicheno, it was a wet and horrendously cold evening so we didn't stick around long enough to get any more photos!
Oysters at Freycinet...
and then back to Hobart where the weather cam showed snow on Mt Wellington and the clouds looked promising, so we headed straight up there...
... for an enormous snow fight! The kids (and myself) hadn't seen snow before so there were snow angels and snow men and bloody cold hands! We were so incredibly lucky, we had heard the mountain had been closed off but it was still open when we got there however the snow quickly turned to ice and the road, which is incredibly steep and narrow, was closed the next day.
Then next morning it was off to the world famous Salamanca markets and then on to Port Arthur...
... which is no doubt one of the saddest places in the world.
But we also had some fun there, with the ghost tour that night. Port Arthur is home to the second most haunted house in Australia. Bloody scary!
Then it was back to Hobart and home again!
Heaps of fun had by all.
