On Monday just gone me and my children ventured out of town on a very special family camp. We were invited to it by a volunteer group which is run by a associate place called Edmund Rice Camp which is a Australia wordwide. and selected children are nominated by services to do with community service areas...What a ball we had.. when we arrived at Camp Banksia which is near devonport in tassie, we were introduced to the rest of the families and the leaders of the camp, we then unpacked and headed to a various of activities, such as fishing, beading, and canoeing.Monday night the kids went with the leaders and us parent s got a candlelit dinner cooked for us and had a 3 course meal..Yummo, and i was feeling so guilty. Tuesday after breakfast we all headed out on the bus and our first stop was a honey farm, which is between Deloraine and Molecreek in Tasmania. We all got to test taste diffrent sort of honeys and we learnt how it was made.... We then had lunch at the local park there, and after lunch we headed to a Cavesite and was given a tour of the caves and got to see some glow worms... After that we went and visited a Chocolate Factory near Devonport, and the kids went with the leaders, while us parents got to go to the cafe and have a hot Chocolate, and taste some scrumptious chocolate.... We then headed back to our cabins where we were staying and done some more beading, and some of the kids went to the park, and fishing... Today was our last day there, and we packed up early, and had a belated easter hunt, had photos taken, and then headed to Beauty point, where we to the Seahorse Musuem, and that was interesting and so cool... We then went to the park near the Beaconsfield Mines and had fish and chips... We then all had our hats that were given to us while we were on the camp and we passed them around to everyone and had to sign them with a message.... We then headed back to Launceston and said our goodbyes and mick came and got us... If you ever come to tassie i would strongly recommend these places. And it was excellent for me and my kids as we were so relaxed and happy... |
