Peninsular and back to Fern Tree

Survived Mum (just) - Christina and H quite upset at various times with m's judgmental and frosty welcome.
Dad good - suffering a little with aftereffects of knee cortisone injection but had a couple of long conversations without the others getting too bored. Visited Devil Park and Port Arthur. The devil park bird show wasn't as good as last time but the kids liked it. PA was spoilt by aftereffects of MDS.
Dad lent us an interesting book on the Dunbabin family's early history and the connection to Jimmy Murdoch who was a great grandfather of mine apparently. Jimmy was grandson to Dr James Murdoch of Craigow.
Dad also talked about Issac Solomon some - cousin of Joseph? Was sent to Salt Water River for Reciveing stolen property.
Kids liked the blowhole and view of the Neck on the trip back up.
MacCauleys are putting us up at Fern Tree - so far so good.
