🌨️❄️ An Unforgettable Adventure to Ben Lomond! ❄️🌨️ (Part 2)
🚗❄️❄️⛷️ Snow Date Adventure! ⛷️❄️

After dropping William off at daycare, Phil and I headed back to Ben Lomond for a snowy date day. Today was a big milestone for me—my first time ever on skis! With Phil’s encouragement and some baby steps (small glides), I managed to move a whole meter before letting Phil take on the slopes.

A few adjustments are needed to make the boots more comfortable, but it felt amazing to be on skis. And guess what? No cartoonish falls this time, unlike my first snowboarding experience!

Can’t wait to keep improving and enjoying more snow adventures together.

🌧️ Rainy Day Adventure for Families with Children Under 2 (Part 1) 🌧️

When the rain starts pouring, don't let it dampen your spirits! Gather your little ones and embark on a magical adventure to the enchanting **Mt. Paris Dam** in the heart of the Tasmanian rainforest. Here's what awaits you:

Discover the Forgotten Dam: Mt. Paris Dam, originally known as the Morning Star Dam, was built in 1936 to supply water to the nearby tin mine. Imagine standing before this relic from the late 1930s, surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle patter of raindrops

Easy Exploration: The initial track down to the dam wall is a breeze, even with a stroller. Follow the path and let the little ones marvel at the imposing concrete structure rising from the forest floor.

Through the Breaches: The dam wall has four slots cut into it. The first and fourth are easy to walk through, especially when the river is low. Venture through and feel the history come alive. The middle two slots may be more challenging due to water or ferns, but they add to the adventure!

Mystical Forest: As you explore, notice how the rainforest has reclaimed the area around the dam. Tall trees, ferns, and moss-covered rocks create an otherworldly atmosphere. It's like stepping into a fairy tale.

Safety First: Always be cautious around the rushing water. Hold little hands tightly and keep an eye out for slippery spots. The magic of the forest awaits, but safety comes first.

Share the tale of the Mount Paris Dam with your little ones. Built across the Cascade River using shovels and wheelbarrows, it once held 1300 megalitres of water. Imagine the miners who depended on it for their tin mine operations.

Remember, this rainy-day adventure isn't just about the destination—it's about the journey. So grab your raincoats, pack some snacks, and let the magic of Mt. Paris Dam unfold before your eyes. 🌿🌧️✨
