Getting Away

I spent the Queen’s Birthday long weekend (can someone remind me why we celebrate that?) with wifeandkids.com and friends in the Strathbogie Ranges about 2hrs drive north of Melbourne. It’s been bitterly cold in Melbourne, but the weather was magnificent while we were away — although it was chilly, the sun was shining most of the time. We found a great little spot–Polly McQuinn’s Weir–to light a camp fire, have a picnic and watch the birds. Did a couple of walks and camping activities with the kids … lots of fun. A great place to get away from the hustle and bustle — I don’t think we even came across another person for the whole 2 days we were there. I’ve uploaded a couple of pics that capture the essence of the weekend.
