Back from a land downunder!

Hi Everyone!

Lee and I have just had an amazing 3 week holiday in Oz visiting my family and friends. My family emigrated there when I was 10 years old, but I came back to the UK 15 years ago. It has actually been 6 years since we were last there so it was so good to catch up with everyone! Thought I would share some of our holiday snaps with you... (be warned this is a photo heavy post!).

My Mum and Dad live in Gulgong which is a small country town in central NSW about 4.5hrs from Sydney.

We visited Hill End, an old mining town...


Wandered through Mudgee and Gulgong...


We flew up to Brisbane to visit our friends Donna and Aldo.


Day trip to the Sunshine Coast visiting Noosa...


Took the ferry to Moreton Island and spent the day on the beach, swimming and snorkelling...



Had a few days down on the south coast at Mollymook with my sister Tina and her husband Craig and my Mum and Dad...



Lunch at Bondi Beach...


A walk around The Gap and Watsons Bay...



A day in Sydney at The Rocks and lunch at Manly...




Spent the night with my friends Sharon and Trevor down in the Southern Highlands...

Lee went on the Illawarra Fly viewing walk, I am a scaredy cat with heights so skipped this!

Lunch at their local pub...


It was an amazing holiday and we are already thinking about when we next go, it certainly won't be 6 years between visits next time! Plenty of scrapping opportunities so keep an eye out for some layouts coming up...

Thanks for looking!

    1. We had a great time Deb! Canberra is definitely on the agenda to do on a future trip, my husband is English so trying to do something different each time we come over... Kirei x
