No, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth! Just hanging in there!

Goodness me! Last post in September. And it's now 10th November.

Where has the time gone??

Far out has life been busy and getting to up date the blog has just been far to hard. But not today.

DarDar!

An update. Well a summary of what has been happening in the past few months.

Well, where to start!!!!!

On the October long weekend the four of us went back to Cobar to help out with the Cobar Rotary Bash. The Cobar Rotary club organises a bash every October long weekend and Troy has always been involved. So this year we all went along.

I must admit I wasn't looking forward to the long distance of travelling. Thank goodness I just love sleeping in the car. Anyway, we started of in Cobar then head to Nymagee for lunch. Then we travelled onto Ivanhoe for the evening. I won't mention that whilst my turn behind the wheel I took the wrong turn. But we still ended up at Ivanhoe all the same.

From Ivanhoe we travelled up to Mungo National Park. Wow! Is that a place you should go to. The changes in the landscape and colour of the earth are amazing. My photo's don't do it justice. From Mungo we travelled up to Pooncarrie for an ice cream then onto "Bindara Station" which is on the Darling river. Bill and Barb Arnold were wonderful hosts. It was such a beautiful place to stay in the middle of now where.

From Bindara Station we travelled onto to Menindee where we stayed for Sunday evening. Mainly for the men folk to watch the grand final of the league. Whilst our stay at Menindee we took a little boat trip on the "River Lady" tours (2 hours) around the Menindee lakes. Yeap! I have lots of photos of bird, dead trees, birds and more dead trees. Nic thank goodness for the inboat service.

On Monday morning we headed off to Tilpa for lunch then started on the journey back to Cobar. It was a big trip with lots of travel, but the kids had a ball. Matthew and Amy-Jane even got to have a drive. Ever since then they both offer to drive. LOL!

During the October School holidays we did the usually of visiting the Field family for a few days. It was great to come straight from the outback to the coast in a matter of the week. I do know what I prefer!

Also in October Troy's newphew Aidan was baptism at "Saviour's Catherdal" here in Goulburn. That is such a beautiful place to visit. Aidan had a great time and wasn't grumpy at all during the service in fact I think he really enjoyed it.

Other than that it has been work, work, work. It is starting to slow down, thank goodness. I am working hard at making sure that I have all my rollbooks, lessons and marks organised so I don't have that big rush at the end of the last week of TAFE.

Mmmmm! Well just see.

Anyway here are some of my favourite photos from the past two months.

One the way to Ivanhoe for the first night.

I actually by luck managed to capture this photo.

The boy having his driving turn. He was very nervous but also excited.

On the way to Bindara Station we came across a Station's mail box.

At Bindara Station, the station dog "Kanga" loves climbing trees for attention.

Some of the many trees at the Menindee lakes.

We brought a canvas which was painted by one of the Cobar Public School students.

Still haven't hung it up anywhere as yet.

This is what travellers see before they first enter the township of Cobar.

See just like the canvas we brought!

Amy-Jane and Holly being crafty with their bikes.

Isn't he just gorgeous.
