Hi all. Today was really, really warm (for Tassie) with the temperature almost reaching 30 degrees! We weren’t used to it, and were very hot. Hope you guys are coping with the even hotter weather.
We left the caravan park in the morning and drove to a small-ish market. It housed two warehouses filled with stalls and some outdoor ones, all selling either bric a brac, books or CD's, clothing or food. Maddy and Mum bought a book each while I bought two CDs for $6 (good quality and cheap). We also bought some fresh fruit and lunch; a bacon and cheese loaf thingy. Next was another market, which was more like the Salamanca Markets than bric a brac, but still had some used goods stalls. Maddy bought a shirt and Mum bought some spoons, along with some cauliflower and cherries.
Pleased with our purchases, we headed off to Woolmers, which is a historic homestead with a rose garden. We walked around the property, investigating the garden and random buildings, then took a tour of the house which was very interesting (six generations of Thomas Archer lived in the same house without removing anything massive, resulting in items from the early 1800’s to the 1990’s. The rose garden was beautiful but we avoided it as some people were practicing for a wedding. After lunch and a short drive we were at Brickendon, which was really cool with hens and their chicks, turkeys and ducks wandering around and donkeys and sheep in close paddocks. The buildings weren’t as interesting, but the adjacent gardens were beautiful.
Finally, we did a little bit of shopping then headed back to the same caravan park as last night.
