RETURN TO GOD'S OWN COUNTRY

ANZAC Day long weekend saw us back in Harrietville.
The Ove
n's Valley
God's Own Country as it were.

We danced, we sang, we made love. It was a whirlwind of romance and ... stuff.

As you'll undoubtedly recall from a previous thrilling blog entry, we left the van at mum and dad's after Easter. This meant a quick trip (relatively) over Dargo on the Thursday night after work.

I bought some books from the op shop - surprise surprise - including Billy Bathgate which you've no doubt seen on my current reading list (because I know you couldn't wait to look across there as soon as the page loaded).

We walked part-way up the Feathertop track, which looked a little something like this:



Suzy and Rachel (the 5th Eddy) turned back just before Picture Point - which is about 2kms up. Dad, Jo, Miles, Indi and Jesamine made it to Picture Point, while Danny and I continued passed Tobias Gap and Wombat Gap (but only because we missed it). So, we were probably about 6 kms up. Then we ran back down, which is not really standard bush-walking procedure, and Danny took a tumble which is also not standard bush-walking procedure, and I laughed at his mis-fortune, which after his constant stumbling had become standard bush-walking procedure (for me at least).

Much of the track we walked was covered in snow the following day!!! Get's me excited thinking about skiiing.


The kids played poker in the shed, which looked a little something like this:





We had Connick with us - and he looked like this:



We also had Jesamine with us - and she looked like this:



We towed the van back, which meant a looooong trip back down the Hume and through Melbourne.

That'll do for now. Thanks for your patience.
