Our walk up the hillside to the lookout for wineglass bay passed through the most incredible scenery. Much more enticing sounding than pools water, red rocks and a sandy beach. There's the cabin of lagoons, Bay of Fires, Honeymoon Bay just to name few.

It's billed as one of Australia's great drives. I have to say, the Tasmanian tourist board have a positive genius for naming places. It's part of the Great Eastern Drive on the East coast stretching fro Orford in the south up past Binnalong Bay in the north. This afternoon saw us in the Freycinet National Park heading for the lookout to Wineglass Bay. Or you're trying to find the turn off to the beach and you end up at a waterfall you didn't even know existed. You're looking for a place to stay and you stumble across a great little cafe with the best burnt toffee almond slice you've ever tasted. One of the things I love about traveling is the unexpected things that pop up on your journey. I'm still on a high after seeing such incredible live theatre. Imagine if every history lesson was this good? And of course the script itself was fantastic. And Miss Twelve was already going on a sleepover at a friend's house with meant the Lovely G and I could take Miss Sixteen along to see a brilliant musical. I checked for tickets online and there were three incredible seats in row G. But then on Thursday I suddenly got the urge to finally go and see Hamilton. It's been a busy year and a challenging one too, getting used to being on the move and out and about again, so I hadn't really thought about booking tickets to see it here. I figured we'd missed our chance but then the production came to Her Majesty's Theatre on Exhibition Street in Melbourne. It was a huge disappointment but we rescheduled for August and.

After all that effort and excitement we were locked down. I spent hours agonising over choosing our seats (stalls or balcony?) for the best view. I booked tickets to see Hamilton in Sydney last year in May and then we were locked down.

Third time lucky they say and they're right.
