Our trip away

Nundle

I loved going fishing, I caught a fish, it was all about fun.  It was exciting getting to our holiday house.

I like it when we got the little tour around the trout farm.  We got to see all the different size fishes.  They were like Nemo becuase they went down a pipe like he did to get from the little tanks to the bigger ponds.

Playing in the sand

We went to a treetops adventure park yesterday so Michal, my eldest, could have some fun with other teenagers.  While he learnt his safety tips we went down to the park where the boys played in an area created like a mining area.  There was this conveyor belt and some convenient rocks as well as a "mine" and a little timber hut.

Harry and Griffin working and loading the conveyor belt.
