Oyster Bay

Hi again,

Right now, we are at Hobart and the place we are staying at is my Dad’s friend’s house and we are camping in their back yard. The friend’s name is Brook and he has a daughter named Holly. Holly is our friend, and she is in year ten. She thinks year ten is awesome.

The Oyster Farm was interesting for people who liked oysters [that is not me]. We stayed in the Oyster restaurant which is where the guide picked us up and walked us to the sign. This sign told about the bay and the types of oysters they produce in the farm.

Then the oyster testing time was here, and the trick was making its belly face you (as part of the shucking), this makes it look a lot better to eat.

Then we walked to the ginger beer tasting and we got the non-acholic and the rest of the parents got acholic type, The one we tasted was extra zingy.

 Then we walked to a different space, and they told us that you had to dive deep to get Abalone near the top of Tasmania.

After that we walked along the oyster shells path which the oyster farmers made and then they told us how they sometimes harvested them at night because that may be the only time when it’s fully low tide and they would do this with a tractor.

                                                   THE SECRET

The secret was that they had two oyster farms and one of them could be seen. If you drive past the farm, you wouldn’t even know it was there. Their farm has the best oysters apparently, because the different type of water creates a different taste of oyster.
