A bushy weekend with a fete at the end.


What spectacular weather we are having lately.  Perfect for camping and anything really that is outside.  We took advantage of the mild weather and the Anzac holiday and ran away to the Bunya mountains.  The grass was lush and the evenings cool together with a full moon meant a comfortable couple of nights away.
 
 Everywhere I looked were these amazing Grass Trees. I've never seen so many SO BIG scattered all over! It reminds me of something out of a Dr Seuss book!


Many games were played including "climbing on Daddy", Uno and a new favourite Battleship.
Lochy is the newest card shark of the family.  He cant get enough of Uno, even gathering up a couple of girl friends from the camp site to play with him.



 






 
The sunsets were amazing!  So pink.
 

 
 
We were able to squeeze in a farm visit tagging along with some friends to visit friends of theirs.  They found a little piece of paradise as you can see complete with animals, shiny red tractor and a motorbike.  Riding bikes here was more exciting than on boring old bike paths in the city.
 


Everything was an opportunity to climb... and tumble down of course!

 

The boys loved the animals and the motorbike ride wasn't too bad either. Thanks!

 
The Bunya trees in this picture is what the mountain is named for. Aren't they amazing trees.

 
Then after all that on the Bunya mountains we came back to this amazing fete. The boys loved the rides (the stand up spinning one was a favourite) and the farm animals too. The boys saved up their money made by making their beds and tiding their rooms to buy cotton candy and a show bag.



 
It was an amazing weekend!
