Camping summer 07 holiday

We decided to go camping for our summer 07 holiday. We camped at a private campsite otherwise known as Grey Cliffs.


We had a perfect spot by the river where the boys could swim and play all day. Bruno was a bit scared of the river to start off with but as time went on he got more confident and by the end he was totally at home in the water. The boys did nothing but run and play and since we have been home, after four days camping, they have done nothing but sleep.


While we were on holiday it was my birthday. Mum and Ivan came out to our holiday abode for my birthday dinner. We had yummy marinated meat on the bbq with new potatoes and yummy fresh peas.


Mum baked me a lemon birthday cake and she even brought her ancient hand beater (which she bought second hand in Newtown) so that she could beat the cream for the cake. The cake was delish, and the cream wasn't bad either. We had a great time and the night was perfect.






Brandon had to fix the gate to our little camping site as it had fallen off the post. I thought I would capture is five minutes of hard work while on holiday.




We took a long walk with the dogs up the gully. There was heaps of amazing birds flying around making some beautiful sounds. It was so peaceful, I really didn't want to leave. Note: background sky....not a cloud in it - perfect day!



The weather was perfect the whole time we were camping. The temperature reached 24 degrees on the second day and 27 the following day. We got a little bit sunburnt (a slight understatement). The wind got up a bit on the last day but it didn't matter because it was our last day.
