Oz Day Fun

Every year we head to the Gong and enjoy a great day celebrating everything Australian from thong throwing on the beach to eating lamingtons, Indian, Asian, Turkish and every thing in between. There is music playing, rides to ride, market stalls and they even have a hospital bed race !! At the end of it all, we sit back, relax and watch a fantastic fire works display.

All dressed and ready, feeling very patriotic !!

E loves the tea cups ride. Rides it every year

Who doesn't love the giant slide !!

 I was very surprised with what E did next. She decided to try her hand at rock climbing. C is an expert when it comes to climbing but E is a little more cautious. I know that there are a few photos of E climbing but I was so proud of her for being so brave. Well done E.

This is where I expected her to stop and have a hissy fit ...

but no she climbed on ...

all the way to the top !!! Woohoo !!

Safely back on solid ground. She loved it.

Aunty June, Uncle Denis and Uncle Jim when he can all come down and head to the club for a BBQ lunch with mum. More often than not they come home with something they have won while playing the poker machines. This year was no exception as you can see in the next picture.

Winners are grinners !!

Janet also joined us this year for the fireworks.

I did take some pictures of the fireworks but they didn't turn out well. We always have a great day in the Gong and have now roped a few of my friends into it as well. Happy Australia Day xx
