The Farm

The drive from Armidale to Guyra is not very far and we had Elly in with us so we reached Guyra without making any d-tours and with only a few minor car problems. We stopped at the farm house to see Gran and Pa and felt the temperature change from Armidale to Guyra which was dramatic because we made more than 300 meters difference in Altitude. It was freezing. But we were very warmly welcomed into the warm house and had tea and a nice chat with my Grandparents. After that we drove over to Sally's place where we are sleeping and staying most of the time. It was really nice to see the kids again, all 4 years older than in my memory but still very lovely, and catch up with Sal and Pete. We are sleeping in the new part of the house which is soooooooo nice and has electric blankets, pay TV with heaps of channels, a shower for two, a Pizza-Oven and best of all, A BEER-FRIDGE!!! Our days are packed because we spend a lot of time with the kids which is really nice and a lot of fun but very exhausting. It's heaps of fun to ride the Quads around the farm and there is so much to see here. We even found a chopped of Kangaroo-Hand which we took back home. I'll ad a picture of it later on. We're having a lot of outside time here and I'm really enjoying it. The kids are really loveing Bekki! She is spending a lot of time with them, drawing, playing and doing their hair.
These are some pics we took on a Quad tour around the farm. The sun came out that day and it got really warm outside and it was a really nice trip. We saw Kangaroos and had a little chat to the cows and played a game of Football afterwards. I'm totally loving the time here and it seems that Bekki enjoys it as well. We are getting very spoilt here and it will be so hard to go back to living in the Van again.
We'll drive to Yamba tomorrow, where we'll spend the next two weeks. It'll be very nice there and I think its even warm enough for the beach so you can look forward to more water pics.

  1. Hey Tim, great photos. I can imagine it is nice to have some warming family around you after the cold time you have had in the van to date. Enjoy it. It has been a long time since you have all had any quality time together. Love, Ian
