I have continued to travel with the Williams family and joined them last week on their trip to Tasmania. We met up with the Walker family and then traveled over 1100 km across the island.
We started by arriving in Hobart where they spent a few days in the mountains. Here is a picture I took of them from the top of Mt Wellington which overlooks the city of Hobart and Islands to south as far as Port Arthur.
We spent a couple of days in Port Arthur. It used to be a site where convicts were sent from England, Australia and even Canada. Prisoners were as young as four and were sent for crimes from pic-pocketing to murder (all in the same building).
We then drove to the north end of the island to hike a the famous Cradle Mountain. People say it looks like a baby lying in a cradle. (It looks like a moose to me... but I am biased.)
We then drove to the beautiful east coast to the Bay of Fires. It was a significant area for the Aboriginal people and their ceremonies (the rocks were stained orange and red). We also hiked into Wineglass Bay (two hours each way). The water was amazing as was the beach. Thanks Mrs. Hawn for suggesting this amazing sight.
Not much planned for the near future but Mr. Williams will be going into Somerville Primary School on Monday.Will write again soon,
Clyde
