Everybody Sing - "On the road again!" 16 August 2010

Well after a long break we are back on the wallaby. Headed up to see Heather's family and morning tea at Colins with all the family. After 12 weeks of our liver cleansing diet, we felt like a conspirator co-opted into a mad hatter’s tea party, as the food kept appearing on an already groaning table. Bundling Laura into Jimmy, we set off to visit her friend Jen and her family at Cooks Hill in Newcastle. In the morning we went for a long walk around the foreshore. Although there are many ugly high-rise apartments springing up, there are still plenty of lovely Victorian buildings scattered around the beaches. Surprised at the number of vacant shops and offices in the CBD - everybody seems to have moved out to the shopping centres.
