Weekend with Catherine and Michael

We spent a busy weekend with Catherine and Michael heading to our local (favourite) haunts of Bungendore and Tidbinbilla.

Initial shyness that Audrey and Eli had of their Auntie and Uncle has given way to rapturous adoration. Eli spends a lot of his time saying "Where’s Michael?" and Audrey enjoys having another slave, in Catherine, to cater for her every whim.

Bungendore has a (very expensive) wood shop with a lovely restaurant attached where we ate lunch with ice creams to follow.

On Sunday we headed out to Tidbinbilla where as well as the usual huge mob of kangaroos we were also lucky enough to spot emus, potoroos and a couple of koalas. Incredibly (given that koalas sleep about 20 hours a day) one of the koalas was awake and it was excellent seeing the potoroos scuttling about on the forest floor as well.

Tidbinbilla is a lovely place, it seems whatever the weather there’s always loads to see and even if the local animals aren’t as generous with their appearances as they were on Sunday the playground is excellent and Audrey and Eli love the slides there. Here’s some pics
