Happy Australia Day everyone. A day where we celebrate the founding of Australia in 1788. Or basically a day off work where everyone gets together for a BBQ.
This year we decided to bunch together and have a picnic at Emerald lake. We arrived at about 10am and lets just say that within about 1 hour there were another 1000 people at the lake, all fighting for the perfect location.
But boy was it exciting. There were playgrounds, BBQs, paddleboats, swimming areas, historic Puffing Billy puffed into the station closeby. There were reptile animals, ice-creams and ball games. It was like a theme park!!!!!!
So here was our camp. Our huge picnic rug came in handy again - room for everyone. We brought camp chairs, books to read, balls to throw. It was great.
Me showing my patriotic spirit! There were Australian flags all over the park, even some T-shirts, thongs and Aussie tattoos!
Cannot get more patriotic than an Australian shaped hambuger, not sure what happened to Tasmainia though.

Then it was time for the paddleboats.....

One way to get around after all the walking, swimming and paddling we did.

It was a fantastic Day!!!!
