We visited The Groves in Canberra on a cold weekend in June, for Jo’s 40th…and I got a few snaps of some special people with William, aged nearly 11 months.


This weekend we spring cleaned and created…the nursery!! 🙂

After lots of saving, deliberation and consideration I decided to renovate my very tired bathroom in my two bedroom appartment. It was all about budget, it had to be!
This is the internal shot of the very grotty, and LEAKING shower. I had been re -assured by the real estate agent that this problem had been fixed (prior to purchase), it hadn't!
So with a huge desire to renovate, but a huge lack of funds, I had to make do with a 'temporary' shower that I modified over my bath..for over a year
We woke up this morning at 5:30am for a 6:30am disembarkation from the Spirit of Tassie. There wasn’t much sun, but it wasn’t raining.
After meeting up with the awesome Natty Flint we made our way as far as we could, and… ended up at Eastwood about 14hrs later.
We had fine weather….for about the first two hours then it rained, and rained…and rained!
We stopped at the Holbrook Bakery while the skies opened up:
So much cooler day, no rain and a very bearable temperature. The clouds actually looked pretty ominous as we set out North West to Scotsdale via The Bay of Fires! Some really beautiful scenery (again) along the way with windy roads and valleys, suddenly into rainforest regions – magic!!
Here’s a pic of the outside of our hotel in St Mary’s:

Yummy pancake at the famous elephants pass cafe:

The Bay of Fires:
We woke with a mild hangover and the feel that it was going to be another hot day. We fuelled up and made our way for 300km to St Mary’s with a much needed stop for a swim.
After that we went up to Lake Leak and chilled out (ad much as we could)..then the Elephant pass with lots of tight corners.
Mayfield Beach – time for a swim. 37 degrees! Approx 110km North of Snug.
