Big Thirsty Aussies

The Wagon Queen Family Truckster. You think you hate it now, but wait till you drive it. Woo ! Hoo ! finally, time for our grand adventure. We may post when we hit Coff's, if not stay tuned for 2 weeks time. I am so excited as this is our first big camping/ holiday that isn't just to Coff's(although one can't complain about those-- only the livers can or liver scan which ever fits the bill at the time). See you in a fortnight all!

Winter is here and the bromilliads are in bloom. I dont know if that spelling is correct and frankly my dear...... Anyway a busy couple of weeks here. After all the rain a big weekend of make-up games for soccer (Tory scored a goal) and the usual netball (Kaiya scored as well). We spent the long weekend up the hill at Joanns place and met her newest addition :Criquet the farm poodle! The ice on the fenceposts was good to look at (mind you I looked at it through the window near the fire). We have had a bit of frost here as well but it seems to warming up a bit this week so far. The girls had a disco on Friday night so they went off to school tired from a long fun weekend.

Not a whole lot of excitement down this way lately. Both girls were chosen to speak at the Education Week assembly. They also had some art on display for the local Art Festival "See Change". okay thats enough prideful boasting for now. If they could only clean their rooms........ We have had about 5 days of solid heavy rain unfortunately only here coastally and not where it is really needed. We are looking forward to our big adventure in July. Out camping and sight seeing. People have said we are crazy for camping in the winter, but they have never camped in Colorado in the summer where the nights are colder than what we will be expecting. Jeez, really, you just take the proper equipment. We hope to see Jenolan Caves, Western PLains Zoo as well as the Warumbungles The Gold coast and of course the usual July revelry with those Williams up North. With a lot of stuff along the way.
