Description
Hello! We are a family of one mum and three kids (16, 17 & 10). We live on a hobby farm in Irishtown, in the rolling countryside of the North West of Tasmania. Close by is Smithton (rural town), Stanley (seaside village), the Tarkine (national park) and breathtaking beaches. We are homeschoolers who love going on adventures in nature and connecting as a family. At home we love being creative, playing board games, cooking homegrown food, playing with our dog and cats, watching movies together, reading, writing, studying our passions, playing inside and out.
