Our love for Tasmanian Wildlife led to creating these little fellas


My daughter and I wanted to create the adorable Tassie Devil.  His name is " Tassie"  We are also planning on travelling Tasmania and visiting your local area and taking  photos.  Look out for us on the move.  This photo was taken up the mountain in Hobart.


This is Tassie in our back garden checking out the scenery.  Look out for those snails.



This is my brother Tassie.  He looks like he has met some snails... Grrr!






This is also Tassie visiting Mt Wellington in Hobart.

You can purchase your very own Tassie Softie as a souveneir of our wonderful State.
Remember:  Every softie sold, we will donate $1.00 to the Save the Tasmanian Devil Fund

New Animals - How fantastic!!!


Kangaroos and Wallabies  -  I have seen wallabies hopping nearby to where I live, even once in my street.

I have seen Koalas in nearby Wildlife Parks.  Just gorgeous and very soft.




Emu's  - I have seen these in nearby Wild Life parks.  I must admit they scare me.  Big eyes and beaks ready to peck you.


I love Kukaburras,  they laugh so loud and can be seen regularly in our back garden.  I had 5 sitting in our old Oak tree last week.


The pesky Possum, found on roofs and in nearby trees.  They make a very strange noise and are cute.


Blue tongue lizzards  -  I havnt seen once of these in a long time.  I did have one in my garden under the hedge in our old house.  Brilliant bright blue tongue.


Wombats... lovely creatures.  slow moving and very cute.  I have seen a few on a few bush roads.


Tassie Devils... Absolutely adore them.  I have never seen one in the wild, but I have seen them in nearby wildlife parks.  These little creatures are  listed as Endangered under Tasmania's Threatened Species Protection Act due to the The Devil Facial Tumour

New things!!!



Galvernised Iron..  Used on houses, sheds, fences and even decorations... very versatile



Hills Hoist Clothes line..... great for drying clothes and for kids to either make a tent by covering with a sheet or for swinging on like a merry go round.



A BBQ...  I still cant get my head around this one.   " Come to my BBQ" means bring your own meat and drinks,  I have even been asked to bring my own cutlery and plate and chair???  So what am I actually being invited too?   a flame on a grill??   Whatever the reason, it is a great tradition for catching up with friends and family.  The food also tastes fantastic.




Australian  Beaches.  Long stretches of beaches with pure white sand.  The sand squeaks under your feet and is absolutely beautiful
