Nana in Oz

Mum’s visit was a pleasure for all concerned. It’s great that we see so much of her and she is such an important part of the kids’ lives.

She spent a few days acclimatising in Sydney before we headed off on a wonderful trip that took in Canberra, the ski resort Thredbo and Robertson in the picturesque Southern Highlands.

A few highlights.

Questacon is the wonderful science museum in Canberra. The Bs would have been happy to spend days there.







Thredbo is a lovely town in a gorgeous area, and out of ski season you can get a very swanky apartment at reasonable cost. The Bs are still talking about it several weeks later, the most common themes being the toboggan run (B1) and the chairlift up to Mt Kosciuszko (B2).

















M&I have spent time in the Southern Highlands before, but it always a pleasure to reacquaint oneself with the area...



...with the notable exception of Robertson’s “Big Potato”, truly an abomination of a tourist destination and known to locals as the Big Turd.



Alright, I admit it, I kind of liked it.

Now to start getting organised for Big Trip 2011.
