Home again

 Home again till next holiday probably Easter away from home.  The weather this time wasn't the best, it rain and was very windy where we stayed at Smithton and then Stanley, both places are known for 'wind' and the towns are on the North West Coast of Tasmania, Australia, the map below.  We stayed in the caravan on those windy rainy days and it just wasn't fit to go out, most people in the caravan park did as we did.  Odd, but at Stanley there was no TV in the caravan park, we have stayed there before several times over the years but when Digital TV came into being hardly anyone was able to get TV in the park. The Cabins have TV, the TV room in the park has TV and all the houses in the town have TV.  My husband and I watch the news on our phones as we were able to get TV on them.

We encountered a snake on our travels by the sea whilst in the vehicle, the snake was slithering across the gravel road Robbins Island Road. A Tiger Snake which if bitten is poisonous as all the snakes are in Tasmania.  I believe we have 3 varieties if not 4.

I took the photo from inside the vehicle as we were moving, this is the sharpest photo.

Uploaded another photo of the Tiger Snake.

Across the Nullarbor

Mulga Snake, or King Brown snake, or Pilbara Cobra, is a species of venomous snake found in Australia. It is one of the longest venomous snakes in the world and is the second longest in Australia.

We came across this snake not that far from the Nullarbor Roadhouse on the walk to see the Whales in the Great Australian Bight.

Also there were some little birds.  I have not taken many photos of birds in the past, but was pleased with my effort.  I did not photo shop other than make the photos smaller.

Currently we are in Streaky Bay in SA, enjoying the spring weather....rain, wind and sunshine at the beach.
