Australiana at its best!

So we chose the weekend with the most storms and rain. Of course we had to catch the sun to lighten our photographs but the birdlife and the bushwalks made up for it...not to mention the MUMM champagne but I managed to take a few pictures.

The 4yr.old insisted on paraphrasing or simply copying what was being said at kinder...I hate Koalas...I hate Kangaroos...they are so boring!

And the ducks? Oh I can't play on that grass the ducks will get me...they'll get my ball! Oh dear!

But the adults enjoyed themselves...or at least we did...a great place to catch up with family and friends.

Again the different colours astounded me. It was a very dull day...the sky was grey...and we had to catch a clear patch when we saw it.

 Of course a bit of the abstract had to creep into the photoshoot.

Not much water left what used to be the lake supporting row boats and families enjoying the great outdoors.

Now nothing is allowed on the lake at all. In fact warnings are everywhere to keep away.
But we were able to walk around it for at least 2.5 hours...and then collapse at our room to welcome the many different types of birds who have now taken to nesting amongst the shrubbery.

But a visit to the Koalas in the trees and down the many steps to see the Staglatites made our weekend complete.

Oh...and the bouncing castle of course...that cannot be missed...shoes off!!
