Hobart 11th - 13th February

Sarah Hodgetts and Dave Adlam
Decided to catch up with the beautiful Rose in Hobart Town and see her partner Dave star in a love story "The Cauliflower Homicides" a very funny and whacky production which we enjoyed immensely.  On the way to Hobart we spent a night with some friends we met at Corindi Beach at their home at Old Beach.  They have a magic little spot with blueberries, olives and a magic vege garden.  Thanks so much for the veges Jude and Bob and the hospitality - we had a ball!

Next day on to Hobart another stop-over at Tim and Kristyn's and their beautiful girls, who arrived home well celebrated after finalising the sale of their market stall - congratulations and thanks once again for having us.  Collected Rose from the airport and headed into Hobart town for some dinner and theatre - a great night.
One & All
Royal Australian Navy Band
Next day headed into Hobart to take a look at the Wooden Boat Festival - some very interesting exhibits Rob particularly loved the tall ships and I fell in love with some of the old wooden tender boats - there was something there for everyone and more boats then you could poke an oar at!   We caught up with Rose and Dave again and were entertained by the Royal Navy Band - very entertaining, but something not quite right about Rock and Uniforms....

Fruit Stall Huon Valley
Decided to head down through the Huon Valley  just 20 minutes from Hobart with its quiet farmlands, scrumptious cheeses boutique vineyards, waterways and rugged coastline.  The region is dotted by honesty stalls where you can pull over and purchase fresh cherries, apples and stone fruits. 
Vineyards - Huon Valley
The Huon valley is also the stepping off point for Bruny Island.  Very pretty area and worth a longer stay then we made time for.
