Our Trip to Mt Field



When I woke up this morning I was sooooo excited because we were going to Mt Field. When we got there we went to the visitors centre and we were told that only 4 wheel drives were allowed to go to the top of the mountain. Dad and Locke were both very disappointed that they were not allowed to see the snow.
But Dad decided that we would drive up the mountain until a sign was put up to say that we could not go any further, but it appeared that there wasn't a sign!! So we drove up the mountain until we came to a very slippery bit of road. Nearby was a parking area covered in snow, so mum suggested that we would park there and play in the snow. So we reversed into the parking spot, but when we went to go forward the car only made a very strange sound..........oh oo. The strange sound was a skidding sound. I was very scared so I silently prayed to God. Mum got out to push but it didn't work so she found a log and pushed it under the back tyre and finally the car was free!!!! Pheewww





After that we went back down the mountain and we took a walk to the Russell Falls water fall, it was beautiful!  We were looking forward to having a nice hot chocolate and some cookies back at the cafe, but by the time we got back it was 3.30 and the cafe was closed, which was disappointing - that was my exciting trip to Mt Field and back.

Yes well next time someone tells your dad that the road is closed maybe he will think twice about going on it, especially with his precious kids in the car. He sounds just like his dad. that's what he would do. I'm glad it turned out ok.

All I have to say is your dad is a dork. Who would drive up a road that is closed? hmm...I guess your dad would. Lucky your mum has some brains.

Jenna, I love your blog and it makes me laugh. I think that your Dad should listen when people say the road is closed! I am glad that your mum found a log and knew what to do with it!

Laura, Elle - i think my dad should have listened a bit better to the man but we had a fun day anyway, the russell falls were awesome! Thanks for your comments everyone especially Mrs Davies.
Love Jenna
