A winter outing


During the Queen's Birthday public holiday, we had a long weekend and at the spur of the moment, decided to head over to You Yangs National Park for picnic. It was a cold 14 degree day and no sane person would sit outside to eat- but yes, we packed our sandwiches and away we went at 10.30am in the morning. We had a stroll, Daniel had picked up a fair share of rabbit and kangeroo poo with much curiousity but to my disgust; while daddy says, let him be.. The final straw came when he stared squasing the poo and stared at it.. Anyway..

We ate and walked a litte and decided to take a hike up "Pimple Hill" nicknamed for the amount of rocks it had and from a distance, it did look like someone's crater face. We took this route ( see pic) and Daniel came along too. Nice stroll up and down I must say, must feel a little accomplished that day having to climb a mini hill.



Here is Daniel, the scenery in the background was great - you can see a vast expense of land leading down to more trees and hills, It was cold but worth it.

Here is the family on Big Rock - another part of the You Yangs - it started to spit ( rain) not long after so it was great timing that we ended the picnic on this rock and headed home... minutes before the rain came. Nothing exciting but still something different.
