Melbourne Albury and East Gippsland

Well did I get a bit slack on the blogging once we hit Tassie !!

Tassie was overwhleming with surprises and beauty, leaving me with an ocean of things to write.

I thought once I got back to the mainland I would be able to blog away. Once we got to Melbourne it was all go go go. We were back to where there were many people to meet and share time with and the blogging took a back seat again.

In Melbourne we had the chance to catch up with dear Wendy, and a pregnant and radiant Liv - two inspiring social ecologist friends, then it was off to CERES and to experience Fitzroy Community School. Next we had a chance to catch up with another Social Ecologist - Jane at Daylesford and the land of springs, we then headed up to Yackandandah to spend some time with Mish and Matt who were building their stawbale house. This was an incredible break for us as they their friends down the road had their house available while they were traveling France and Itlay on push bikes with their children. So We got into repairs and maintence. Before we knew it a week had past, or more?

We got all nervous with Kaiden and jamala running all over the house of people we did not know, and shifted into Anna's at Albury for nearly 3 weeks !! where did that time go? It was great to catch up with our friends Anna and Justin. Living with Anna, Eligh and Lily (7 of us in the house) was really relaxing and rejuvientating. There was so much to catch up on, and share particularly with parenting, we both love Aware Parenting. While hear I was also able to catch up with the many aware parents around the country through emails, and am looking forward to meeting many of them in person.

Well we are back in NSW, and shocked to discover a $27 camping fee in a remote National Parks and Wildlife Service camp, the surf break is good but geeezzz !!???
