From Cradle to the Cave to the Coast- Headed to Freycinet

Tuesday, May 26

We are off today, again crossing the state, headed for the east coast and Freycinet (pronounced "fraze-in-nay") Peninsula.  We have exciting stops planned at a limestone cave & a World Heritage working farm.  One of the best parts was our send off from Larissa at Lemonthyme...

Larissa was extrordinary- she worked reception, was our server, our activities coordinator & led the boys through an activity sheet during our stay.  The morning of our departure she presented the boys with "prizes"- they were moved by the generosity.  Lemonthyme is lucky to have Larissa.

Morning fog

Marakoopa Cave-(it was warmer in the cave underground than outside!)
One really neat feature of this cave was the "glow worms".

Tassie cows

A dog named Nash-
truly!

A stop for lunch at family owned, 41 Degrees, a salmon farm-
they are the owners of the dog.

Brickendon Farms-
This is a 7th generation family owned commercial sheep farm that is listed as a World Heritage site because of its convict linked past and preservation of buildings in use since the 1820's.  We all had a great time learning some Australia history and feeding the animals!



This is the wool sheared from 1 sheep!

Who would have guessed that in the same day we would meet up with a dog named Nash and a town named Ross!
