I hope everyone has had a fantastic Easter 2010!I'm currently down south at the Australian snowfields for Easter. Thredbo to be exact. The store is closed at the moment and I've left my last two bunnies to keep guard.
The Snowy River. Snowy Mountains, NSW, Australia
We love the Snowy Mountains all year round. Of course nothing can match the snow in winter but now many more Australians like us have discovered that there is much more to do here than ski.
My husband and the boys love riding their bikes all over the rocky terrain. Mountain bike riding is huge most of the year, as is fishing in the snowy river. The air and the scenery are amazing and I can fully understand why people fall in love with this area and never want to leave.
The temperature was "crisp" and a little on the chilly side but it is a welcome respite from the hot temperatures we've had in Sydney all summer.
For dinner last night we went to our favourite restaurant - "Crackenback Cottage". We've been going here for years as it is cosy with fantastic food. Think "comfort food" and warm open fire places.
Our boys love playing in the wooden maze outdoors. There was about 2 dozen children all trying to negotiate the maze last night with flashlights. It is fun to watch the frustration from the elevated viewing platform. I think it is a great way to entertain the children whilst waiting for dinner to arrive. As long as they don't get completely lost and start screaming! And sometimes it is the odd parent who is stuck in there yelling for the way out. Don't try doing it after a few wines!
We had a fantastic weekend away and although we ate way too much chocolate and food (and wine for the adults), we worked it off walking and cycling. So we don't feel too guilty!
