A birthday celebration

My littlest lovely turned 3!  Oh my.....  Batemans Bay to celebrate.

 Fitzroy falls pitstop for a refuel and stretch of the legs on the way to Bateman's.....which turned out to be a little further than I expected.  Honestly, a centimetre on the map looks like nothing right???
 Living the Aussie dream
 An over friendly parrot desensitised to humans by people giving him snacks.....it got very close!
 Jumping pillow - a great energy burner!


 Breakfast on the veranda.  I could totally get used to this!
 The birthday girl in question on her new bike which she now has mastered!
 The very pink cake as requested.  Isla was very happy with it (as was I!).
 4 layers of pinkness with lashings of jam and butter icing
 A morning view, lovely to see the sun coming up over the ocean.


 On the day of her birthday and morning on the water was in order on the Clyde River.
 The Clyde River, Batemans Bay
 The captain!
 It's hard work all this boating you know....
 Wollongong and then the Tasman sea
 :))))  The hubster. x
 Wombat crossing!
 Illawarra Fly treetop walk - oh hello vertigo.....

 Gulp - and I could not make my legs walk up here!  Already 80 feet above the ground at this point and I had the virtually overwhelming desire to lie down due to the drop!
 What a view.


After only 4 nights back in our own beds and the car is on the drive packed to the roof ready for a spontaneous camping trip this weekend.....phew, I need a holiday!  A beach stay of 2 nights and the weather looks amazing for it, 28-30 degrees both days and blue, blue skies.....
