A North American family's adventures living in Tasmania.
We ventured to Fortesque Bay on the south east of Tasmania. Beautiful pristine white beaches, clear turquoise waters, and no one around. We found a sea bird nest, star fish, lots of shells, and departed with a tan. Stunning!

North American Family on the an adventure of a lifetime. We moved from BC Canada to Tasmania six years ago with two kids and hubby who worked in the salmon farming industry. We have loved every moment but our nomadic tendencies have called. We are going bush. Inside are the adventures of our year caravaning around Australia. We want to see it all!

Hello Wendy! Thank you for visiting and commenting!
About "my owls" (LOL).
Burrowing Owls, belongs at Speotyto cunicularia and is also active during the day.
Habits: The burrowing owl differs from most other species of owls in two primary ways. While most owls are nocturnal - active at night - the burrowing owl is diurnal - active during the day, like humans. In most owl species, the female is larger than the male, except in burrowing owls, whose females are smaller than the males. The small birds feed on insects, small frogs, lizards, and rodents. They produce a variety of different calls, from a shriek to a whistle to a laugh to a coo.
Instead of nesting in the trees, as most birds do, the burrowing owl gets it name because it burrows into holes in the ground to live. The owl makes its own holes, but more commonly lives in abandoned prairie dog and squirrel holes. When the owl sees something approaching its home, it bobs up and down a few times, and then dives into its burrow. The owls breed from spring until fall, and the females lays around 6-8 eggs. These take one month to hatch, and the young owls stay in the nest for about 42 days before leaving.
Best, Sonia.
Hey Wendy, great pics. Wish I was there. Sounds like you and the family are having a great time. The pics of the kids are priceless. Is Marc camera shy? Are you making a photo album as you go? I know its a huge task, as the boys baby books are still unfinished... Maybe by graduation, of college that is. Life seems so busy all the time. I have to learn to say no. I used to be good at it. Keep up the great posting, I feel like I'm on the journey with you.
Mrs. Wilson,
I am keeping all my pics. Yes some day I will do an album. I aspire to finish my youngests baby book some day. So far behind. I should download my blog on a CD for them. That can be their journal. Glad your posting again
