3 days in Carcour with Tina and Shushann

3.5 hours out of Sydney and a beautiful, old town.  I stayed in a wonderful old monastery called "Shalom."  Lived up to its name, very peaceful.  Tina loved having us to stay and took us for a great swim in the local dam.

Mackie boy at Brennan Park

 

Mack and his favourite uncle

Mack adores Chris and always insists on being on his lap!  A beautiful bond.

Snake canyoning with the boys

This canyon was the bomb with lots of places you needed to leap into the water to go forwards.  The snakes added some extra adrenaline.  The brown snakes weren't to scary, it was the large black one in the water that we had to swim past that caused some consternation!

 

Bowral to visit Jilly

 Jilly has been locked up for 6 months. She was so happy to be allowed out. We celebrated with a double dose of ice-cream!

Dinner party with the boys (a bit of a drunken affair)

Oven roasted vegetables and seered tuna. We sent a tipsy message to Jilly who knows all of us and I was visiting the next day.
