Bonfire at Grandpa Doug's tonight....all messages from Canberra warning against the COLD!!!! Haven't packed full ski gear - but we're headed to the Bez on Friday anyway! (p.s. just discovered limitation of blog site - photo is a file photo. Apparently can't possibly post an update without a photo to match...)

First leg: Eltham to Mount Beauty. Kids put to work helping to collect firewood at grandpa's.
