Everyone had a bit of a sleep in this morning after such a late night, which was a treat for Nick and me! It was a beautiful sunny day so after breakfast we went for a walk through the town and along the estuary. On the way back we called into the bakery for hot cross buns for afternoon tea and then sat outside with Doris and Joerg and watched the crowds roll in for Easter. There are over 700 sites here and most of them are full. The playground was absolute...

Happy 5th Birthday Annie!! She woke up at 630am having counted down the days since the boys birthday and within 5 minutes the rest of us were awake watching her open her presents on our bed. Nick made a triple batch of pancake mixture and made us all pancakes for breakfast, then the kids shot off to play in the playground. The entire caravan park seemed to know it was Anna's birthday and Anna had promised most of them a piece of birthday cake! Nick took the...

Woken around 630am by the two boys arguing. Sent them back to bed and was then woken by noisy neighbours children shouting - time for a coffee!! We had a very quiet day today sitting around the caravan park. Jeorg and Doris came and sat with us and we spent most of our time researching places to visit and stay along the Sapphire Coast of NSW. There are plenty of caravan parks along the coast but unfortunately they are all extortionate, especially when trave...

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...

Woke up to patchy showers, which soon passed so after breakfast the kids shot out to play and weren't seen again! Nick spent the morning preparing meals for the freezer and I started a new book and did the laundry. We had every intention of spending the morning doing schoolwork but there were about 20 kids in the playground all playing together and ours were in the thick of it so it seemed unfair to pull them away - perhaps they will have the school holidays of...
