Here are some cute little handmade Tasmanian Devils checking out our decorated Christmas Tree

Keep watching my blog this month. We will cover all aspects of Christmas in Australia.


Sun, sea , surf and fun! fun! fun!

Giving is so much fun when the sun is shining into the late hours of the day , enjoying times with family and friends.   Merry Christmas to all this season.

The Christmas gift that keeps on giving.....

Here is a great Christmas idea!!! Give a gift that keeps on giving. Wouldnt your friends and family be delighted in receiving one of these gorgeous handmade Tassie Devils, knowing that 10% of the profits have been donated to the "Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal" Each softie includes an information brochure, sticker and postcard. :)

Hi ! from Tassie - Burnie

Tassie visited Burnie this weekend.  Burnie has always been classed as a commercial town, with industrial buildings, shipping and manufacturers.  Whilst this is true, there are many areas that are worth visiting.  There is a great shopping centre.  The Makers Workshop,  Fish Frenzy on the Beach front and at the moment the whole Burnie foreshore is in the middle of redevelopments.  I cant wait for it to be completed.

Tassie taking in his surroundings  from Kmart Complex Car Park

Baltimores Restaurant on Marine Terrace.  We went for Dinner here once and they served Crocodile Steaks.  I am told  it was Delicious

Tassie decided he would enjoy watching the action down on the wharf.  Here is Burnies famous landmark the crane which is decorated at christmas time with christmas lights.  We think it looks like an emu. 

Here are some more links to find out about Burnie, Tasmania
