A Day in Nature – Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls

We took a beautiful day trip from Hobart to explore the scenic wonders of Mt Field National Park, and it turned out to be one of our most memorable adventures in Tasmania. The drive from Hobart took just under 1.5 hours, and it was a lovely and peaceful journey through the countryside.

When we arrived, we purchased our park entry ticket at the visitor centre and got a handy map with walking tracks clearly marked. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially in pointing out what would be best for families with kids. The main walk to Russell Falls is easy and well maintained – perfect for prams and little legs.

The walk itself was stunning, surrounded by tall tree ferns, moss-covered trees, and the sound of birds all around. We took our time, soaking in the serenity, and the kids were happily pointing out different trees and trying to spot wildlife. When we finally reached Russell Falls, we were all in awe. The waterfall is absolutely beautiful – water cascading down over layered rocks, with mist gently rising as it hit the base. It felt like we were in the middle of a nature documentary.

We loved the spot so much that we stayed there for a while, just enjoying the view and taking photos. From there, we decided to continue on to Horseshoe Falls. It was a short uphill walk from Russell Falls – a bit more effort, but manageable, and the reward was worth it. Horseshoe Falls has a quieter, more tucked-away feel, and the kids loved climbing the steps and rocks along the way. The track loops around, so we ended up walking through more of the forest and seeing even more of the natural beauty that the park has to offer.

There’s something really special about being out in nature like this – no screens, no rush, just the sound of the water, the trees, and the excited voices of our kids exploring. We finished the day with a snack at the picnic area near the visitor centre before heading back to Hobart.

It was a peaceful, refreshing, and family-friendly day out – we all agreed it was one of the highlights of our Tassie trip. Highly recommend Mt Field and Russell Falls for anyone looking to experience Tasmania’s natural beauty up close.

Bruny Island Ferry Ride – A Memorable Family Adventure

One of the most memorable parts of our Tasmania trip was the ferry ride to Bruny Island with SeaLink. The whole experience felt like the perfect start to a day of exploring. We booked our return car ticket online for around $46, which made things a bit easier—but we still had to wait in the queue for nearly an hour before boarding, as it does get quite busy. A little patience goes a long way here!

As soon as we drove onto the ferry and stepped out of the car, the kids were buzzing with excitement. It felt so different from our usual drives—open air, fresh breeze, and the excitement of heading to an island. The view from the ferry was absolutely stunning—calm blue waters, rolling hills in the distance, and seagulls soaring overhead.

We stood out on the deck, soaking in the peaceful scenery and cool sea air, chatting and taking in the moment. The kids were running from side to side, spotting boats, waving at other passengers, and just enjoying the whole vibe. It was such a wholesome moment for the family.

We were all excited knowing that once we arrived, a full day of island adventures awaited us—beautiful beaches, wildlife, and great food. The ferry ride really set the tone for a fun and relaxed day on Bruny Island.

If you’re visiting Tasmania with family, we highly recommend taking the time to do this ferry trip. It’s not just a way to get to the island—it’s part of the experience!

A Roaring Good Time at Sydney Zoo: Dino Adventures and Family Fun

We recently invested in an annual pass for Sydney Zoo, and it has been one of the best decisions for our family outings. The kids absolutely love it, and we try to visit as often as possible. On our last trip, the zoo had a dinosaur exhibition, which turned the visit into an unforgettable adventure for our little ones.

The kids were overjoyed as they walked among life-sized replicas of dinosaurs. My son, a budding dino enthusiast, amazed us with his knowledge, correctly naming most of the dinosaurs on display, including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus. Watching his excitement as he recognised each creature and shared facts about them was heartwarming. Both kids eagerly explored the exhibit, moving from one dinosaur to the next, thrilled to learn more about these prehistoric giants.

One of the best things about Sydney Zoo is its manageable size. Unlike larger zoos, this one allows us to complete a tour in just a couple of hours, making it perfect for young children who might tire out after too much walking. Despite its compact layout, the zoo offers an incredible variety of animals and experiences.

Along side the dinosaurs, we wandered through the regular zoo exhibits, where we enjoyed seeing lions, giraffes, and kangaroos. The kids particularly loved watching the meerkats play and seeing the cheeky monkeys swing from tree to tree.

Sydney Zoo truly caters to families, with plenty of shaded rest areas, a café with kid-friendly meals, and even a fun playground where children can burn off extra energy. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, happy to answer the endless stream of questions from curious little minds.

What makes the annual pass even more exciting is that the zoo plans different themes throughout the year, ensuring there’s always something new to experience. We can’t wait to see what’s next and are looking forward to making many more memories.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly day out that combines fun and learning, Sydney Zoo is the place to be. For our dinosaur-loving son, it’s become his favourite destination, and we couldn’t be happier seeing him so thrilled. Here’s to more adventures at the zoo!
