This weekend in Australia, we celebrate the birthday of the Queen of England. In actual reality, we have no clue about when she was born (look it up on Wikipedia...) but don't let that stop you from having a holiday.
We went on a pilgrimage to Megan's Mum's House in Numurkah. The drive down was uneventful, staying overnight in Holbrook, and getting there before lunch on Saturday. Double demerits apply during this weekend, so we have a real incentive to not get booked. And the boys in blue were out in force - good on them.
Maggie arranged for Megs and me to stay in a very nice Bed And Breakfast on the new highway (As it turned out, the B&B had just been sold, so we were the last customers). In all it was a great weekend, just spending time with family.
I have attached a large swathe of photos that Cate and I have taken, showing typical sutff we saw on our trip. Megs really enjoyed the oportunity to catch up on her reporting for school.
We also got to speak to Suzy, and her wedding is on 22 July at the registry!!! Wo Hoo!!!
