Boating at the Woolly Butt
May 30th 2008 07:41
I was looking through my files for some photos to print out and came across these happy snaps.
This is Benson and Lucy on holiday at Falmouth on Tassie’s east coast. I saw this little boat in a shop a few weeks before our holiday and it was only a couple of dollars, so I bought it to take with us.
Lucy seemed to like going in the boat, though she was may have just been happy because she had a squeaky hamburger to play with. Benson prefers not getting his feet wet when he’s at the beach, so I thought he might prefer to ride in the boat while we paddled.
He didn’t give too much away, but just quietly I think he felt a bit embarrassed being in the boat. He’s a very refined dog and the design was probably a little garish for his taste. But we had the whole place to ourselves, so I really don’t know what he was worried about. I even wore my shorts (I don’t think NASA ever did find out what that bright light was shining from earth that day).
Anyway, I digress. When in Falmouth, the place to stay is the Woolly Butt Bungalow. Named after a type of gum tree (no, not a sheep), which you can see growing in the area, the Woolly Butt Bungalow is a self-contained holiday unit. There is only one unit and it is perfect for two humans and their dachies.
The bungalow is situated beside some wetlands where you can sit and watch the birdlife. It’s also just a short, easy stroll to a great beach. The nearest town is Scamander, where there are more great beaches, then on from there to St Helens and even more beaches (and a pizza place).
We don’t get to go on many holidays. Alpacas need caring for and most holiday places don’t allow dogs (what fun is a holiday without the dogs!). Other things always seem to come up and eat whatever money we manage to save for holidays too. So when we do get away it’s always a great treat. I think the dachies enjoy themselves too (especially after the boat is put away).

A wonderful documentary, and you've been rewarded with a Manly lodge video, one of the best ads if you ask me, I loved watching it. Hint to others. Unfortunately these things disappear as soon as they appear. But I got it.

I don't think we'll be getting to Manly Lodge anytime soon (do they allow dogs to stay?), but there are some lovely spots in Tassie which will be just fine for us.
