From Crayfish Creek we drove East back through Devenport and along the B71 toward the Tamar Valley. Along the way we saw lots of Poppy fields with big signs warning people to keep out. We stopped at the Blue Berry Barn cafe at Frankford where the lovely owner named Debbie made good coffee and told us about Green's Beach. Our next stop was Beaconsfield where we had lunch in the park and toured a historical museum with lots of info about the gold mining and the rescue of Todd and Brant. It was a really interesting place and Hannah and Ashleigh enjoyed panning for gold and exploring the miner's hut. Green's Beach is at the mouth of the Tamar River and was a lovely spot to stop for 2 nights. The tide seemed to go out forever and a lot of time was spent exploring the rocks and sand. Ashleigh also caught up on some school work that we are already behind with (by week 3!)
Looks like you guys are having a ball! :) Hope it hasn't been too wet where you are. Last weekend we had emergency services and all! Guess what?! Our house is finally on the market!!! We had a few little dramas last week but I'll leave that story for another time.. I have my uni orientation tomorrow, a bit nervous but I'm looking forward to making some new friends. Have a good week! ^^
