Anzac Day today. We started our day with a walk along the beach, walking to the mouth of the Nullica River. We sat there for a while as the sun was shining and the kids wanted to play in the sand and then we walked home for breakfast. Multiple crumpets later, Nick and I spent most of the day sitting around the pool watching the kids swim. I made some biscuits in the afternoon and then we walked the beach in the afternoon walking to the opposite end of Twofold...

Woken up early by all the fishing boats going out but drifted back to sleep until around 8am. Had a long slow breakfast and then did a couple of loads of washing, as it was a beautiful sunny day. The kids spent the morning swimming in the pool, even though it was freezing, and playing on the jumping pillow. Around 11am we headed into Merimbula to top up on groceries before the long weekend. As the weather was stunning we explored the beaches first driving o...

We woke up around 730am and began the gradual process of packing up the van. It didn't take very long and we had coffee with Doris and Joerg before saying goodbye.

I did a Google search for the best place to spot one and top of the list was Bombala - only 2 hours inland from ...

Both boys woke up ravenous and became unbearable until they were given breakfast. I thought about going back to bed as it was raining but the pull of coffee was too strong! After breakfast we decided to head into NSW for the day and explore some of the Sapphire Coast. We drove into Eden, a stunning little town that sits on Twofold Bay, and parked the car to explore on foot. We found a bakery for lunch and then took our food and ate in the park nearby. I po...
