Nepalese dinner in the city

Garden of Stone, Wolgan Valley, with Srini, Ashesh and Krishna

One of my favourite places: Garden of Stone in The Wolfgan Valley. Well worth all the bush bashing we had to do at the start.

Officially being inducted into The Sydney Bush Basher's Club

Gavin even made membership cards with some rather suspect member photos except mine because he wanted a photo of me with Mack.

 

It also turned out to be a birthday celebration for Gavin and Ashesh.

A beautiful gift

I went out with my hiking friends a couple of nights ago to celebrate Mack's life and they gave me this sublime painting of Mackie. A beautiful gesture that brought tears to my eyes. It was done by the amazing artist Koko Loco. It really captures Mack's indomitable, larger than life spirit and I love it so much. A very precious gift that I will always treasure.

Ten pin bowling

 We celebrated Gavin's arrival back in town with a game of ten pin bowling.  Srini was victorious, even with his broken foot!

Mermaid Falls

A great day out with Rajesh, Asesh and a lovely new guy, Krishna. Being Mermaid Falls, I had to do my usual leap.  It was a brutally hot day but regular swims in the cool river made it bearable.  Thankfully some cloud cover also gave us some respite later in the day.
