Reluctantly woke up as it was far too cold this morning and it was only the thought of hot coffee that got us out of bed. We spent the morning doing some schoolwork, staggering each child's start time so that they all got some one on one time. The boys started science and that meant a walk around the gardens in the sunshine - very nice. We had lunch and then set off to explore the inland area around us with Doris and Joerg coming along too. We took the Prince...

Woken far too early this morning by the kids and it was a struggle to get up. It was another beautiful day and the morning was spent in the usual way - coffee, breakfast and school. We had lunch and then went off in the car to explore again, taking Doris and Joerg too. Our first stop was Central Tilba, a stunning little town in the hills that is listed with the National Trust. There is only one main street and it is lined with old weatherboard shops and caf...

Woken early by the kids and the sun was shining yet again so we had coffee by the lake and then got stuck into breakfast. Nick did a couple of loads of washing while I tidied up the van and then we got stuck into some schoolwork for a couple of hours. After such a long break it didn't go well!! After lunch we drove into Bermagui to explore and Doris and Joerg came with us. We drove up to Blue Pool, an awesome salt-water swimming pool carved out of the ocean...

Woke up fairly early to another sunny day and had coffee outside before we began to pack up. It didn't take very long but we took our time and we were on the road by 10.30am. We drove along the coast and reached Tathra around lunchtime. Matty needed the toilet so it seemed a good idea to stop and have lunch. We parked in front of the playground and the kids had a play while Nick and I took it in turns to check out the beach. The Surf Lifesavers were on patr...

Woken up by Anna this morning who has decided our bed is much nicer than hers! The sun was shining yet again (26 today!) so we had coffee in the sun and after breakfast went down to the beach for a game of cricket and a swim. We returned for a cappuccino by the pool while the kids had a swim and then after lunch we headed into Eden to explore a bit and buy the groceries we forgot on Thursday! We drove down to Aslings Beach, which was absolutely stunning - cl...
