This boy LOVES his dads ute !
Owen and Col sharing the love (of rocks!) (Col is a geologist)
See the giant leaf insect on Cols elbow? Cy wanted to hold it but couldnt bring himself to do it Lol
He was much braver with this gecko
A visitor before dinner
and another visitor (Cy was loving it!) we even saw sugar gliders at night gliding from tree to tree
Early morning camp breakfast

a rare photo of me (I am usually behind the camera)
Ha I love this shot 'ole Ma and Pa
We did a fantastic walk through some amazing rock formations (isnt this one amazing!). Owen walked the whole way over pretty uneven ground 2.6kms took us about 2 hours (with a stop for morning tea).
These boulders were huge and you could walk right in amongst them, it felt like we were in a cathedral
a rock just the right size for a rest, he did so great!
After a few days camped we headed back down to the town and for lunch at the pub.
Owen saw this sign on the front of the pub and said "cream, cream, cream" (icecream). We ordered our meal and the whole time Owen was telling the cook "cream, cream, cream"
The cook was so sweet she brought Owen a bowl of icecream to have.... with his chips! Owen was VERY appreciative with lots of "mmmmmmmming" it must have hit the spot after all that bushwalking.
As we were leaving the pub we met a man who used a walking stick, Owen took for a spin, it was so funny he walked up and down the verhanda of the pub with it, Cy stepped in to take it back to the man...which of course resulted in an argument.
After those days in the bush yesterday was New Years Day and we decided to make a break for the beach its a 2.5 hour one way trip but SO worth it we all enjoyed it so much, definately washed the woodsmoke and dirt from camping away.
"working" on those balance skills
he started out very wobbly and tipped into the water all the time
but he mastered it by the the time we left
The water was so perfect and we stayed in for hours until we were all wrinkled before heading home
Happy New Year!
Wow, what a great vacation! It's a dream of ours to spend some time in Australia someday. My favorite pic is of the two boys lounging in the chairs....livin' the life!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you! LOVE the photos! I miss camping already, only 5 months more of winter, blah. Looks like you all had a great time. Isn't it fun with boys? They have no problem digging right in!
