That’s Life:

Something special happened while we were walking back to the caravan park in New Norfolk. Let me tell you.....

A man cut across us on the footpath as he went from his car in through his front gate. He quickly reappeared, saying - “where are you from, where do you live?” He’d gently stopped us in our tracks and we said we were just down for a few weeks, visiting from Devonport. He introduced himself and asked “well, would you like a bunch of roses?” and proceeded to gather us into his garden like a mother hen gathering in her chicks!

It was lovely to decorate the bus with freshly cut roses, their fragrance extra special ..... like the gesture.

Thank you Peter!

One of our favourite places to visit in Tasmania - New Norfolk!

This was taken a few years ago. We love their caravan park, it’s right on the bank of the Derwent River and always try and find a spot in the shade of their huge weeping willows. It’s also easy walking distance to town. 

One of our favourite shops is The Cake Lady Cafe. Here we are enjoying some savoury scones for morning tea. She does all her own baking and this is her second shop - bigger and better than the first, which was such a tiny little space. It’s fitted out Retro style and the Cake Lady will stand and have a chat with you quite happily, it’s all very friendly.

A Photo a Day:

Day 105.... When we go to Hobart we usually stay in the caravan park at New Norfolk. It’s right beside the river and one of our favourite parks. The view on the river is always eye-catching. I love the trees, the soft greens, the sound of the water and all the birds. The caravan park has lots of tree cover and we’ve found a great walking track that starts out the front of the park.

We can have a 5 or 10k run then enjoy breakfast under the trees!
