Happy New Year!

Hi guys! Happy New Year!
A DIFFERENT FONT! HEHE.. awkward.. Anyhoo...
Sorry I haven't updated this since a few day before Christmas (I think). I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year’s Eve and Day. I sure did! A big present I got was a sewing machine! I have finally gotten into sewing. I'm not all that good at it yet but I can still do it. Here's a picture of one of the cute Christmas toys I sewed...



Isn't it adorable?! Well, I think so. Hehe. I sewed heaps of other different ones too before Christmas.


Anyhoo, onto other topics. On the school holidays my family and I went to Tasmania! It's so far the second state in Australia. In 2004 we went to Queensland and that was amazing, especially for a little kid like me! 

Tasmania was really good too. The highlight of the trip was Cradle Mountain. It was so beautiful there. I a lot of photos of it. At the bottom of the mountain is a massive lake called Dove Lake. We did the circuit around it and it took us 3 hours!!! It was 6.6 km long! Well, 6 km is a VERY long walk for me... yes I am unfit. Okay, here are more photos! These are of Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain.


Dad and my sister walking to the start of the circuit.




Some random people. That's a nice mountain.

    I must admit, I really love this photos. I could just eat those flowers! I wonder what species they are...

    Button grass and other plants. Apparently the tiger snakes LOVE the button grass!

   
    I can't remember what this part of the Cradle Mountain National Park was...

   
    Ughh, the flower is blurry..
