Going to Gooram

The plan was to drive to Anna's mum's place in the country after work on Friday. Unfortunately, a few km's down the road from our house, the beetle let out a big burp, then stopped. Three hours later, we got towed home to bed.

Luckily, Rosie's boss Pete offered us the use of his Mercedes for the weekend! So we took him up on the offer. Then we were there, hanging out with Anna and Charlie!

Gooram is in the Strathbogie Ranges, a very pretty part of the world. In between various film screenings and meals, we took walks around the property.

We came across this kid, who had lost its mum.

Wasn't too fazed by Tess.

I suppose she's not that scary, really.

Charlie digesting another album. Like father, like son. Ben was in Sydney at a drinking, I mean music conference, by the way.

Crazy boulders everywhere

There was an eagle circling us, eyeing off Tess. We took turns carrying her, much to her chagrin.

The eagle disappeared after a while, so Tess had a run around at the top of the hill. It's lovely up there.

It was a great weekend away. On a different note, Kate is off to study in Canada. I dropped in on her farewell fire pit. Happy travels Kate!
