This will hurt me...

A good stretch Hen, that's what you need.

How many times can someone go down the same slide before getting sick of it?

Ezra is winning.

Now please stand as Ezra readies himself for his next trick. Yes, he will now EAT his way through this entire pile of car tyres!

Christmas is kind of like this great big kick arse slide. You spent an eternity toiling away to get to the top, look around you and think about how great it's going to be. Then you hop on, and WHOOOSH, you're done. You dust the pine bark off, wonder what all the fuss was about, sigh and set about climbing back up.

Check out that form: straight back; firm neck; legs together; body equidistant to arms... Yessiree, that some mighty fine slidin' technique on display here...

That slide is a whole lot of red.

"For my next trick, I shall descend the slide... HEAD FIRST !"

Here is Ez doing his best William Blake impression, it's subtle, but very, very good. I wonder if you can tell that Henry is doing Keats? This is just before he dropped the Grecian urn, however.

Slide Ezra, slide like you've never slided slode slidden slid before!

He goes up slide. He does down slide. He goes up slide. He does down slide. He goes up slide. He does down slide. He goes up slide. He does down slide. He goes up slide. He does down slide. Time to go now. He throws tantrum. He goes over shoulder, He goes in car. We go home.

Back in Hobart safe and sound. First I shall share a video of Henry testing the slide that can be found at Campbell Town, which sells itself as "the heart of Tasmania". For us, it served as the halfway point of the five hour journey from Hobart to Burnie.
