Well that was an interesting day in puffington land 🐲🐉✨️🙄❤️🎩🎄🎅

Another wonderful festive New Norfolk Christmas Parade - thank you to the amazing organisers who put so much towards the event they host! It was a highlight having four Bash cars amongst the 26 floats and vehicles - thanks Champettes and Crackerjack - Variety Tasmania Tasbash team for joining us today ❤️

Puff decided to not play ball on the way to New Norfolk - couldn't get gears beyond first so a nice and slow ride out, then wouldn't start after stalling to let the convoy of cars trailling behind us past.

Puff Junior thankfully was behind us with the wonderful Zeke, Liv and Isla crew on board who gave us a jumpstart and got us back on route to New Norfolk.

We think Puff wanted to let us know we were missing someone very important today, hence giving us a run for our money - and we felt every part of Grandpa Puff (Simo) not being with us on todays adventure 💔 we were stoked to have you on the phone so you could be part of the fun ❤️🎩

Our usual hero with Puff troubles wasn't available today so we put our RACT membership to use and met a couple of wonderful blokes along this next part of our journey!

Big thank you to Cameron and his son from RACT for doing the inital verification of "yep ya need a tow truck" then the amazing Mark from Derwent Valley Towing for getting us back to our trusy mechanic La Macchina 🙌🎉🧡

What a day! Santa photo cancelled, plans redirected, but a very enjoyable day at New Norfolk with both dragons providing some community festive cheer and a sprinkle of water 😂🐉💦

Merry Christmas to our New Norfolk community ❤️✨️🎅 we will see you soon and definitely for next year! 👋

Some exciting Puff News! ✨️ It may explain the radio silence since Tasbash 2025 wrapped up (we ended up so unwell afterwards with RSV 😷 and I have hyperemesis gravidarum this time around from 4 weeks and still going strong 🤢).

We are incredibly grateful of our amazing mechanic La Macchina for sourcing us a 7-seat Bash car — because we have a little miracle dragon on the way! 🐉❤️🤱

The final addition to our Puff "human" crew - we are excited to get to use those baby dragon costumes one more time! He or she will be joining our many adventures of fundraising, travelling around Tassie, raising awareness for Variety the Children's Charity TAS and being part of the legacy of dragons that we continue 🐲✨️

2026 is sure to be an interesting time on the road with an 18 year old, 15 year old, 4 year old and a approx. 5 month old 🚗🐉✨🎉 not sure where our gear will fit 😂

What a wonderful festive evening filled with community spirit ✨️🎄🎅

Such an impressive event hosted by the Huon District Lions Club and community sponsorship and support 👏🎉 just amazing! 🦁

Lil Puff enjoyed his evening, starting with Mona Leesa Face Painting, then off to the line to see Santa while Daddy Puff waited in the line for fairy floss - finishing up with trying his hand as a future firery 🚒👨‍🚒🧯

We were shocked and honoured to receive the Most Impressive Vehicle award, sponsored by Wilcox Bodyworks 🥳🏆 well done to each and every float and vehicle for being part of tonight! ✨️

We enjoy community events as it brings a smile to many people, and a moment of joy and cheer - which also raises awareness of the amazing charity close to our hearts Variety the Children's Charity TAS ❤️🎩✨️

Thank you to the Huon Valley community for hosting us this evening - we apologise for our Lil Puff who has now learnt how the water feature of Puff Junior works ☔️😂 such a cheeky little dragon 🐲🐉
