Impressions of the Tasmania Trip #2

You can change a nappy anywhere you want, as long as you do it with confidence.

On our trip, we changed Elijah's nappy in a variety of public places including, but not limited to:
  • on a picnic table of a busy rest stop near Bookham on the drive down to Melbourne;
  • on a packed City Circle tram in Melbourne;
  • on the bonnet of the car in a back street in Perth, Tasmania;
  • on a picnic table on the way to Tahune, Tasmania;
  • on a picnic table at the water front at St Helens;
  • in a restaurant during the reception for the lovely wedding of Andrew and Jacinta;
  • on a picnic table outside of Tasmazia (you should be detecting a pattern here); and
  • on the bonnet of the car outside of a Shell road house about half an hour north of Melbourne (yet another pattern)
Edit 20 August: Ooh, and I forgot, on the bonnet of the car in the car park at a Maccas in Devonport

At a couple of places, some people looked a little surprised, but no one objected (not even on the tram and it was packed) and no one even really looked shocked or outraged.

The same goes for breastfeeding, but these days breastfeeding in public is no big deal (which is the way it should be).
