I smell, I’m tired, I’m quite badly sunburned (naughty, naughty, I know), and I could quite possibly be in bed before 8pm. We’ve been away with friends since Friday afternoon and it has been glorious fun. Riley had his sixth birthday up there – more on that later – but just look at the countryside. We went to the same place as where we went bush camping last time, but the difference in this case is I got photos! Decent ones!

We hired a camper trailer this time and it was well worth the money.

wombat hole

Wombat holes were all over the hillside. Didn’t see any though. Wildlife spottings: kangaroo, fox, cows, and an echinda.

thistle

Pretty purple thistle.

fire

Evening necessity: a good fire.

More to come later, once I’ve washed and gotten myself sorted out.

I hope you all had a fine weekend! x
