Just the three of us or four if you count our dog Shaggy. We’ve been staying in a lot of caravan parks lately but this time we took the camps book and found some fun spots to pull up the caravan and build a fire in the middle of the bush at a historic site called Whroo near Rushworth. It reminded me a lot of my childhood – the bush, getting dirty and camp fires which used to be an almost every day occurrence when i was young.  We used to ride our bikes up to the orchard at the back of our houses after school for hours, building cubbyholes, sliding down mud hills and sometimes even build camp fires, only coming home when it started to get dark. This doesn’t happen so much for the kids now days with their busy suburban lives so it was fun to watch Rory have a ball in the beautiful Victorian bush. We spent hours riding through the  bush where we saw Kangaroos, Koalas and even a wombat (but unfortunately i didnt get a photo of any!) plus historic sites of the old gold rush days.

It was a fun, relaxing long weekend and i cant wait to do it again! I wish the queen had a birthday every weekend!

Heres some happy snaps!

This is what she does now when i ask her to pose….she is so cheeky! She thinks she is hysterical.

I was feeling really good about being out bush in the winter because i didnt have to worry about snakes. Then i saw these……….

And Shaggy or as he is now known by Rory – Bullseye!
