The Game

I went to see Barbara's Max play Australian Rules Football in the under 8's against Mt Barker. We were joined by his grandparents Dan and Margaret.

Two versions of caring?

My sister-in-law Joey and my brother Tony are part of the Fauna Rescue Network and are caring for these two baby kangaroos or "joeys."
The two orphans
Clearly other people in society are living without a care for the feelings of others. I came across this late model sedan similar to my own burnt out in the suburbs a petrol can in the back seat.
End of a trip?

Some time with the Coats

I visited the Coat family on Sunday and enjoyed a walk in the paddocks with Barbara's niece Bec as she checked the new born calves.

Our time in the Tamar Valley

On Tuesday Ken and I drove to the Tamar Valley seeing some pretty sites, although sadly much of area was still covered with smoke from burn offs.

No wonder so many people do not want their lovely
more polluted than it already is.

This was the sky on Saturday mid afternoon as we drove back from Hobart
