Holidays

We have had the chance to go away for a relaxed holiday which has been fantastic. This is the lake near where we stayed in the Snowy Mountains. I learnt a bit about the Snowy Mountains scheme. It was a revelation to me that the primary purpose of the work was to bring water to the west of the Dividing Range and irrigate agricultural land, and that power is a by-product!

Walking in the evening, as the sun set, we saw families of kangaroos munching beside the road. One of the regulars around the house where we stayed was a mother kangaroo whose joey had to fold itself up to fit into her pouch. The kids were fascinated.
