Central Australia

It's been so long that it took me 10 minutes to work out my username and password combination, but here I am back in my little corner of the world.

We have been holidaying!
Earlier this month We met up with Mum amd Dad in Alice Springs and took a trip to Uluru as well. It was an amazing place to visit and one that we will go back to again. There is so much to see and learn there. It is the first place I have ever been to that I have come away wanting to know more.
So here are a few snaps from the trip...
Andrew and Ali getting familiar with the wildlife.



Ben free of the stroller.



All the gang.



Andrew and I on top of Uluru!!!! I can't believe how much I look like my sister Jenny in this photo.


Us at Uluru

This photo comes with a cute story. Right outside the door of the first place we stayed was a wallaby feeding area. The kids got bags of food from the offices and spend ages feeding the cute little critters.
All of a sudden Ali yells out. "It's got a baby! It's having a baby."

I'll be honest and say that I didn't really believe her but I went over to have a look anyway. After another minute or two a little joey appears in the mother wallaby's pouch. It was so cute. The wallabies are so small to begin with but the joeys are tiny. We saw a couple more with joeys too.



Last of all Mum and Dad looked after the kids while Mark and I had a day out. We went quad bike riding out on a cattle property. It was so much fun. I was a bit unco to start with but got the hang of it and had a great ride.


This is just a small part of the property we were on.

That'll do for now.
Have a great week.
