We found the long lost Jolly Jumper and set it up the other day for Master Sebastian! One thing he and his big bro have in common is their love for similar activities! Maybe that's because most babies like these sorts of things (ie. nappy free time, staring out the window, rolling and jumping!).
Here is a video of Sebastian's first jumps in the Jolly Jumper. Quinlan (who was just out of bed, therefore the no pants and very attractive nappy look) was also rather fascinated by all the goings on and insisted on 'helping'!
Been playing with Linux lately and the "easy to use Ubuntu 10.04". With ffmpeg I could get the file size down to 2MB rather than the 100 odd MBs so that's cool.
Beej and Loz (who had to add his bit at the end of this post :) hehehehe)
Sorry about the sore neck you're going to get from watching this...

As far as East is from West
... is not how far we travelled on this day, but boy, as the good Dr Z prophesied, did we go FAR!
The previous post was mainly about Lake St Clair. This post includes some LSC (pumphouse above, that was never actually used but was built for emergencies) but also includes some incredible shots that nearly made me fall off the kitchen chair really...
In short, we thought: "Hmm, weather looks pretty bland (compared to previous day anyway), lets drive to Queenstown and beyond, then travel back to Hobart in a single day!"
Here are some pics along the way, I think some are Mt Arrowsmith, Frenchmans Cap (in far distance and with a cold looking white cap), and various Mtns coming into Queenstown.
Well, if you drive round lots of corners and down into Queenstown, it is possible that small kids in said car might get slightly sick. We found this out shortly before arriving in Strahan and leaving Queenstown.
However, he did enjoy chasing seagulls and ducks at the Strahan foreshore. The journey back was slightly slower on the switch-backs through the passes and was incredible. On the way back we did enjoy a lack-lustre pub meal at fog-shrouded New Norfolk.

Lake St Clair
Its Larry here with another update to the goings ons (is that grammatically correct?) with the Tassie Huizingas.
First up some photos of Lake St Clair and our foray into the western wilds (from within the mighty Corolla...).
We travelled out to Lake St Clair on (I think) the Wednesday morning(ish) a couple of weeks ago and arrived at lake St Clair in fairly good conditions. Wait, it was actually a Monday. The weather was greyish but none too cold. Upon arrival we were greeted by many Kookaburras in the forest around.
Quinlan liked this and we found that we had the Camp Kitchen to ourselves. Hence, we enjoyed our pancakes for brekkie the next day.
The next morning we had Pancakes for brekkie based on a family tradition....
Q and Dad went walking in the mist while the Paparazzi (Bj) snapped away in natures best filter effects.
Some shots of Lake St Clair. Part of the track along Lake St Clair forms part of the overland track which heads over ranges near Mt Ossa and Pelion hut (more on this in a future blog) towards Cradle Mt. We walked a route that went along Aboriginal heritage trail and then down to the lake and back. Quinlan walked at least half an hour of this; quite trooper like really!
It was quite a good day. The next day we had a look at pumphouse point and went on our peregrination across the heart of Tassie.... Insane! Stay tuned...
