In the early evening, just after a noisy thunder storm, Samantha gave birth to a white male cria. We named him Rumbles. He was wet and shivering, and possibly a couple of weeks premature.

We love exploring Tasmania and winter is the best time of year to view rugged pristine rivers and waterfalls. Of course, we really enjoy staying with other small accommodation providers, too!

During the 2020 lock-down at we reached out to a large textile company for assistance with processing alpaca yarn. We needed advice to solve a problem with static build-up in our alpaca fibre processing mill.

This is our family’s experience of walking the 65km Tasmanian Overland Track from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair.

In May 2021 Tin Dragon Cottages hosted two small groups (14 and 8, respectively) of bushwalkers from Horizon Guides.

After unusually good rainfall this summer, we decided to revisit Meadstone Falls. The deep upstream rock pools make this an inviting destination on a hot summer’s day!

This is my motley collection of side dishes such as dips, salsas and chutneys. When I get a chance I will add to the collection!
