We recently returned from a family holiday in Tasmania, where we had a great time exploring the many wonderful sights with our children.

In early January, we were in Launceston on a hot day, and after first trying to get to the swimming pool at the First Basin at the Cataract Gorge (we gave up trying to find a parking spot after seeing how many cars were parked on the side of the road in the area!), we headed to Liffey Falls to cool off.

We had a great time splashing around in the cold water, and exploring among the rocks.

On a recent business trip to regional Victoria late last year, I was staying in a hotel on Phillip Island, which is located about 140km south-south-east of Melbourne, connected to the mainland by a bridge.
When travelling for work, I try to take my camera with me, and take photos of places I wouldn't otherwise be visiting, and this trip was no exception. One evening after work, I drove around Phillip Island, exploring the coastline and the local attractions.

Located on the western tip of Phillip Island at Point Grant, the Nobbies is an interesting rock formation on the coast. A tourist and information centre, known as the Nobbies Centre, is located here, along with boardwalks allowing visitors to walk along the coast.
