Playing at Awoonga

Friday we took the girls out to Awoonga dam for a play on the water and brunch BBQ.
The weather was perfect - slightly overcast and not madly hot. Better still - the park was pretty much vacant and we were left to play by ourselves.

The scenery was gorgeous.

The amenities wonderful, ranger's help freely and cheerily given and to complain about anything - would only be other careless (read revolting) previous visitors who had left all their plastic and rubbish under our shelter.


The kookaburras cackled until we fed them. It is always amusing to watch them "kill" the already dead food. (Click on the photo to see it larger)
However nature and family fun isn't quite what it used to be.... Anna complained bitterly about the lack of cell phone reception...
This bird nest caught my attention.


The new motor happily pulls all four of us along at speeds suitable for Christian's desires. I never minded our gentle meanders... however it is different horses for different courses?
