The Mackay crew came to stay

After a very very wet beginning to the year for Tony & Em, they decided to have a change of scenery and get a taste of the south!

 After we met up in Mt Gambier, we did a quick swing by to Port Mac to show them some more of southern style coastline (I mean really how can the North Qld beaches compare to here)

Its k k k kinda nice today mum, but perhaps a hot chocolate would be more the choice than water

 Will - any chance to get his hands dirty and he makes the most of it!

 my boys hanging with their biggest cousin Ryan!

Back at the farm - Uncle Tony and the lads on their way to feed the sheep - a novelty for these guys

Lee with the new lambie

 Jamie being well, Jamie - who wouldn't take this face home:)

 feeding lambs, check; trip to the murray, check; yabbying check -Ryan holding his dinner

 Me and my favourite boys - note that Jack is way more excited at how on earth he is to open the easter egg he's holding.  And Ryan - next time pretend to look excited;)

And the final queenslander thing to do when you come to SA - is to stare absolutely bewilderingly at a stobie pole - seriously they're an odity to us

Was a fab time had by all and I just wish we had the chance to catch up more often!

The last 10 months in a post.... hmm let's see.
Harvest dragged out for waywaywayway too long.
Had a visit from my bro and fam - a good 3000kms for them to come - well done guys!
This was closely followed from a visit from my dear sister which we concluded by a road trip to Qld and left poor Matt to work.... nothing like pizza shapes and a vitamin tablet to keep that man going through cropping whilst I'm away.
The little Will turned 1 which was a huge hit for Jack, knocked off another of my capital cities visits by heading to Sydney for a few days and had a huge birthday party for the 3 Yr old of the house.  My theory is once they start school, there goes the days you actually get to invite your good friends over, so why not do it while they're little at least once - I may be wrong, we can only see:).
And to top it off, Matt is very lovingly constructing the Custon/Bangham version of the Taj Mahal in my backyard - a lovely room for Bella and a fine construction for my 3 Indian Runner ducks and my chookies.... to come.  Very very excited.
