At Tessellated Pavement at Eaglehawk Neck, I took one of
my favourite photos of the children. It is like them gazing into the future equipped with a sense of adventure.
Since planning this trip, Kim and I were not sure if we
wanted to visit Port Arthur. Ultimately, we decided that the children should
know about this as it was an event that changed the way Australia saw gun
ownership and transformed gun control legislation.
When we arrived, we were given a card each. These cards were related to one of the prisoners whom used to be here. We were given a little window of why they were here and how they lived. The day was sunny and windy. Our hats wanted to fly away with the breeze just like the past prisoners here. The feeling while we were there was of sadness. Humans can be cruel to each other.

Thomas liked following the bell wires at the Magistrate’s
House. I loved the old red mulberry tree at the back of that house. If only it could tell its side of the story. Next time,
we would stay longer in order to explore every nook and cranny.
We finally made Ozlem’s place after being stuck in traffic as there was a festival nearby as well as a bushfire. They made a lovely barbeque dinner. Our
children played beautifully. Their house overlooks the water back towards
Hobart city and watched the fireworks that brought in the New Year the night
before from their balcony.
