Next year someone else may pick up the baton.<br /><br />It's good to see another peasant Aussie with no royalty :) Your roots certainly go deep though. Maybe John Lee swam here with George Kunkel and John (?) Goopy...all wish to remain elusive!<br /><br />I love how you're planning your holidays where they'll give special memories for your children and family as a whole. Those days are long gone in our empty nest, but I think it's so important to have those special events -daily or holidays, expensive or cheap. Sometimes just being in the bush camping or picnicing is the best thing. Take lots of photos too! You're very right, we're spoiled for choice with Australia's natural heritage and scenery...such diversity. <br /><br />Lamingtons, yum yum!! Beats lamb hands down!Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.com
