- Public holidayDay 4 (Sat)
- Gave something new a try today and went camping. Had a few minutes to enjoy a coffee together when the kids took a nap after an action-packed morning. Looking forward to skygazing tonight! I wonder if we'll see a shooting star? The babbling stream might lull the kids to sleep.

- Public holidayLast Day (Sun)
- Today was the last day of a fun-filled weekend. As we got ready to go home, the kids wanted to stay and play more. When can we come again? We stopped off at Hedo Cape and drove along the west coast on the way to the airport. It was the perfect drive as we could clearly see the horizon where the sky meets the sea.
