holiday update

Hi all folks

Lots of things have been happening in the life of the Farrens over the holidays. We all definitely needed it and are all very rested after a good time just as a family. On the first week of the holidays we did'nt do very much on the monday we had a relaxing morning and then at lunchtime we went to see are dad and have lunch with him. Then for dinner we had some friends over and to have a play. Then for the rest of the week we did nothing apart from Joe and I did a two day golf clinic. On the weekend we went to see some of mums cousins in broadford. Broadford is on the road towards sydney. So we stayed there for the weekend and had a great time down there playing in their pool and playing games. We came back on the monday and then went to somers (were one of our friends for church live) and stayed there for the day and night. We had a great time playing on the beach and surfing some waves.

So that was the first week of our holidays. Now on the second week we didnt do very much we lazed about at home and on the thursday I went to cricket training (if you dont know I'm doing cricket for my summer sport). On the thursday evening we started our journey down to a place called wilsons promontory (which is a beautiful national park with lots of amazing wild life and senic views and last but not least the spectacular walks it has). We didnt actually stay in the park but a village called sandy point and a house called sleepy hollow and boy was it sleepy. On the friday we travelled into the national park and got a two day pass to go into the park. We first slowly went to the main town in the park called tidal river. We went so slowly because we were looking out for wildlife and we saw some too, we saw 2 wombats (which are a bit like big hampsters).

Dad finishing off now.....we spent a lot of time walking on both days ( 10k plus each day) in the promontory with both some spectacular coastal walks and rainforest walks. We saw a few kangaroos and wallabies and just had great time together as a family with lots of fun, laughter, learning about geography and enjoying the beautiful spring weather.

We were of course very disappointed that Australia lost in the rugby but will do our best to follow England now.
