Lunch with a Bunch.......of family that is!!

Today is Tuesday and we are meeting family at.........

The Lighthouse is on the main street in Ulverstone and is a bar/bistro/hotel.  It has been there for as long as I can remember, but the outside look has changed a few times over the years.  The latest look is a.......well........a lighthouse!

The outside.

Below are some candid shots of family.  Remember, Joshua had the camera, I asked him to get some good shots of family members together - I should have explained myself a bit better!

Marie Woodhouse (sitting), married to my Mum's cousin.  They used to live just up the road from us and she would babysit me. 

My brother Graham (plaid shirt).

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday dear Jason, Denise, Anthony & Joshua

Happy birthday to you!!!!!

After eating and visiting, we drove to Devonport to look around.

This is looking across the river from the Esplanade to East Devonport.

The Esplanade is a park that runs along the river from downtown Devonport to the Bluff.

The Spirit of Tasmania is an over night ferry service from Devonport to Melboune.  Ideal if you want to take your own car.

This house is located just off the Esplanade, and I would like to own it very much.

I think the Chicken Feed store was one of my Mum's favorite stores.  She would often send things to us that she had found there.  We bought an extra suitcase to bring home Tim Tams.
