I have just finished reading Jackie French's fascinating book "The Secret World of Wombats", illustrated by Bruce Whatley. My son will never let me forget that story!
PLATYPUS WALK SIDEWAYS CRACK
Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of that wombat womble - or should I call it the wombat wobble? I strapped up my wrist when we got back to the cabin and it wasn't till a few days later when we returned home that I had my wrist X-rayed and found that I had a small crack in one of the bones. I convinced myself it wasn't serious though it was very sore! and continued with the walk.

Thankfully I managed to keep a good grip on my camera. I fell of course and my hand went out and I broke my wrist. She then turned and said "where is our wombat", and I stepped sideways to get a better view - silly me forgot I was on a boardwalk - and I stepped off the boardwalk. The wooden board-walk was narrow and raised above the tough tussocky grassland and we were walking one behind each other because of the narrowness of the boardwalk - and it didn't have railings.Ī wombat was up ahead of us and the guide stopped to tell us about wombats. We went on a late afternoon "wombat womble" guided walking tour along a board walk with a park ranger guide. My son will tell you that it was the "wombat's fault" that I broke my arm at Cradle Mountain.

That green mossy walk you can see second row below, looked like something from "The Hobbit". The walks are varied in terrain and distances, you can walk right around the lake, and there are these cute tunnels kid size with pictures for littlies to learn about birds and animals in the park. There are lots of great walks in the park, and a shuttle bus to drive you around, and we didn't mind the snow a bit! We were thrilled during our visit to see and walk in snow - as we don't have snow in our part of Western Australia. Here are a few scenes from Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park where we stayed in a cabin for a few days. Tasmania is an island of stunning scenery and a long, not always happy, history. You can see it here - Searching for Platypus - Great Short Walks in Tasmania I wrote about Great Short Walks and searching for platypus in Tasmania on my blog way back in 2012. Continue alternating right to left until you have completed 10 lunges on each side and 20 frog jumps.Hi everyone, this week for a change of pace, and to get away from news of "the virus", I decided to go back to Tasmania - that little island off the eastern south coast of Australia - and go wombling with wombats. Repeat with a sumo lunge and side kick with your left leg and another frog jump. Land on your heels, rolling forward onto your toes. Spring up while thrusting your arms overhead.Keep your knees just above (not in front of) your toes. Lower your right leg to the floor into the sumo position.As soon as your right foot touches the ground, bring your knee back into your chest and complete a side kick, kicking your right heel out to the side into the stomach of an imaginary opponent (or jaw, if that imaginary person is height-compromised).Take a large step sideways with your right leg, bringing your right knee in toward your chest and then over to the right in one continuous motion.Stand in a "sumo" position with your feet slightly wider than hip width, knees bent, and your body weight in your heels.Here, he shares his three signature moves to master for a tight, toned and perky gluteus medius on Beyonce's level.

"Side butt is the new side boob," declares fitness and wellness expert David Kirsch, and judging by all the naked dresses on the red carpet as of late, we're inclined to agree.
