Well, it was that time of the year - Tasman's favourite time - holiday time! He was up for a big journey to the Victorian Alpine Region. This meant he needed skis so off he went shopping for skis and ski clothing - he was so excited! As usual, he wanted to share his holiday story with you all…..
Hi Everyone, Tasman here now! This is Dinner Plain! We stayed here for a week in the snow.
It's a lovely Alpine Village. This was our house. It was sort of named after another bear…..just spelt a bit differently….
I was amazed by all the snow. I couldn't stop gazing out at it!
The Sled Dog Challenge was on when we were there. I loved it! I cheered and cheered for the snow dogs.
And I patiently waited for them to return to cheer some more!
Our snow dog puppy Mawson wanted to participate, but he was missing a sled so he didn't get to…..
And because I loved it so much, we went on tour with Australian Sled Dog Tours.
These are the snow dogs that pulled us along. They are so strong! I can't wait for our snow puppy Mawson to get bigger and pull me along….
We took a break from the snow one day and went for a drive.
And we ended up at Lakes Entrance!
I never thought I would get to play at the beach on my snow holiday!
Once back at the snow, Sally and I had fun posing for selfies….how cool is her beanie, she sort of looks like a bear like me!
This is my big brother Frosty who came too. He is a cool experienced snowboarder.
I had to chuckle when he fell over though….poor Frosty…..
We had so much fun in the snow…..
But then I fell over and he laughed at me…..it was my first time on skis!
I did get better with practice…and became a real snow bear!
Here is am on the Summit Chair at Mt Hotham. I loved this part of skiing because I was able to rest my sore little legs…..
So after having lots of fun in the snow, we went and stayed at a beautiful town called Bright! Here I am getting ready for our epic bike ride….Bright-Beechworth-Bright along the Rail Trail….just 154km in 1 day!!!
I made friends with the baker at Beechworth Bakery and refuelled with a cookie monster cupcake - so yummy!
We all know bears like honey so I couldn't miss out on seeing the bees...
And sampling the honey….
It was such a long way we pedalled that I had to have a rest on the way home...
I had the best time on my holiday. I love the Victorian Alpine Region. But the time came to navigate the way home….
Would you believe the cruise ship we travelled back to Tasmania on was named after me - The Spirit of Tasman!
