We arrived at Sea World with lots of excitement for what we might see today.  I was looking forward to seeing all the animals, especially the dolphins. On the way to Penguin point (where we watched the fairy penguins being fed) we went past Ray Reef and patted the slimey manta rays. These were Zach's … Continue reading Adventures at Sea

The kids and I visited Paradise Country on Sunday afternoon while Adrian did something with Blu. It was really hot! We donned our cowboy hats and ventured into the farm themed park. The first stop was the baby animal nursery. Clarissa loved the baby pigs. They were cute its just a shame they don't stay … Continue reading It’s Hot in Paradise

After a long day at Movie World it was quite lovely to know that we would be enjoying a delicious 3 course meal and I didn't have to prepare it.

February 27     Dubbo - Tamworth - Bendemeer We woke up to the sounds of a busy town (something we are no longer used to) and packed down in record time. After breakfast and a quick bounce on the pillow we set off towards the home of country music. On the way, we discovered we had … Continue reading Rain, Rain Go Away

February 25     Sydney - Katoomba - Bathurst - Manildra The bliss of falling sleeping listening to rain on the tent is only surpassed by waking up to find it has passed and you can pack in the dry!

February 22-24      Sydney After a late return last night it was nice to wake up slowly.  Unlike the mornings we had been used to, the weather here was very muggy. We did not take long to get out of bed. Some rather friendly rainbow lorikeets were watching us from a low tree next to our … Continue reading Sydney in a Day

February 18     Thredbo-Canberra  Waking up to sunshine....what a treat!
