Our group is well over 50+ years of camping here each Easter, so it was great we were able to fly down. Maggie loved it much the same way I used to, swimming, kayaking, she was even keen to do the great walk. Eddie also loved it, probably more than all of us. Mud, fires, sheep, tents, easter bunny on a truck, kangaroos, and going on the kayak with me and his sister. Even better that Pa and Gaga was there.
We went down to the farm again, it was hard work but Maggie got 3. Eddie liked it at first but rapidly got over it.
Maggie is getting really good at casting and was happy to fish the entire day.
Eddie very much enjoying casting and the hook. He got two fish and was quite uncertain pulling in the first but got more into it on the second. He was very interested in the fish though.
Celebrating our 10th anniversary, went all went on a trip to Cairns. In terms of the outdoor activities that are the point of this journal the rainforests were particularly impressive, and Maggie and myself went to the reef.
The daintree was lovely and quite unique compared to Darwin. Maggie is very into nature right now and she enjoyed it. Eddie liked the walk but mostly the train!
The Great Barrier Reef was fun although the coral was not as good as the outer reef, I think we will need to go next time.
My favourite spot was just a creek on the side of the road where the kids had loads of fun playing and splashing.
We got into tumbling waters for a two night camping trip. The cold dry was not around, it was quite warm which made swimming nice but going to bed at 8pm difficult. The portable fans went a long way.
The kids liked it and the caravan park was nice. It was a bit noisy both nights until around 11.30pm. The food was decent – Eddie got his bowl of chips. One of the highlights was Eddie coming back from kinder to find the car parked and planting himself in the carseat for “Eddie camping sleep in tents” he was so excited.
We went to Buley Rockholes and another of our favourite picnic spots.
