Is everyone excited for Christmas? Today was quite good. We woke early and had breakfast before taking on an 8.1km walk, which took us to through the beautiful, cool forest full of ferns and massively tall trees. We visited Russell Falls (absolutely beautiful), Lady Baron Falls (very pretty) and Horseshoe Falls (quite nice). Sad to leave the national park, we began a short drive to a cherry place (not open), visited New Norfolk for a grocery shop (and a lovely chat with the family we met yesterday who had just been to Brunie Island and hadn’t showered for 8 days). We then climbed the Hobart Shot Tower, the only circular sandstone shot tower in the Southern Hemisphere. It was very tall and quite scary (318 wooden steps!). For lunch we stopped near a no-longer-operating blow hole and were mobbed by very scary seagulls (don’t tell me you don’t find them scary…). Next was some beautiful native gardens, then Snug Caravan Park where I’ve spent the last hour on a swing. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas :)
