Hello from Old Bar / Taree!!

Safely arrived yesterday afternoon in Old Bar with Uncle Brat & Sue.

The drive from Umina was short and we stopped at the best pie place and found out that Sam & Lu both LOVE meat pies!! Hooray!! One more victory for the Australian blood in their veins!!
Meat pies always make me think of the many summers Lance & I spent in Tugun ~ walking down to the beach from the house and stopping for pies/sausage rolls on our walk back up...many a summer was spent over meat pies, crumpets, veg & toast, tea time w the oldies and spending the summer on the best beaches in the whole world.

Speaking of beaches, we hit Saltwater/Walabi Point this morning and it was gorgeous!!!  No one else on the beach but us ~ I guess when you live in a place where gorgeous beaches are a dime a dozen no one beach is ever croweded.  We waited until low tide to look at all the creatures in the rock pools before heading back to the farm for lunch.

Just now back from an aquatic center with huge water slide in in for Sam & Lu.

Going to sit under the enormous fig tree for tea and listen to the cookaburras cackling at us.

More to come from the Gold Coast tomorrow -- and hopefully some pictures of our last couple of days.

xoxo

  1. Great reporting Ashley! Particularly enjoyed your grandfather's story, and of course the photos of two adorable kids (not saying which two). Looking forward to touring Australia with you.
