Shopping with my Mum

Yesterday I went shopping with my Mum and I had a great time.

I bought some new clothes and hair ties.

It was really good!

Mike & I spent the weekend with our families.

Saturday was with my family and Sunday was with Mike's family.

My brother, Michael, was playing cricket.



His girlfriend, Sara-Ann, was playing with Daniel (my nephew).



My sister, Janet, was feeling sick.



Janet's husband, Craig, was watching TV with Mike.



My nephew, Tim, was playing cricket and winning!



My niece, Marcella, was smiling :)



My mum, Chris, was cooking... all these wonderful cookies!!

Yeah ME!

Today I took my DQT. The DQT is the 3rd and final test that you must pass to get a drivers license in NSW.
Here is a diagram to show you how it works.




So now I have a driving license!!!

I am so so so so so happy!!!!

And the really nice thing... Mike was there, so I could share my achievement with him :)

Bye Bye Tassy

Mike & I had a great time in Tassy. We drove from Hobart to Launceston.

On the way we went to Mount Wellington. You can see Hobart at the bottom of the mountain.



There was a bit of snow.



Mike was cool.



And my snow leopard was just hanging around :)



It was a beautiful place!


In Launceston, we visited our friends and went to a zoo.

Here are my favourite animals from the zoo. They are all babies. They are super cute!
Can you guess their names?



They are emus.



This is an echidna.


It's time to watch the Olympics!
bye,

Pretty Port Arthur

Today we went to Port Arthur. It is a beautiful place with a sad history.

Port Arthur was created as a gaol for convicts who had been in trouble many times.

But it was the first place where they tried to teach the convicts new skills, so that they could get a job when they finished their time.

The story is much more sad but I can't tell you it all now.

Photos will be below!

enjoy,
Susie

Hooray for Hobart

Today we flew to Hobart. It took 1 hour and 40 minutes from Sydney.


Hobart is the capital of Tasmania. Approximately 200,000 people live in Hobart, that's 4 times as many people as in Taebaek!

The sky was super blue, the wind blew and I felt a bit cold.

Mike wanted to drink coffee at a special cafe called Oomf. So we drove around until we found it. We drank cappuccinos and shared a toasted sandwich. It was yummy!

In the afternoon we went to Cascade Brewery to learn about making beer. It was interesting - even though I didn't think it would be!

We learnt that Cascade also make drinks from apples, raspberries and ginger. That was a surprise!

Mike had a ginger beer and I had Apple Isle.

A funny fact is that ginger beer does not have beer in it!

Here is a photo of the brewery and an apple cider.

see you next time,
Susie
