sydney - canberra - bodalla - narooma - jervis bay - nowra - kangaroo valley - sydney

tell you what bunnies, i feel like i need another long weekend just to recover from easter weekend.

but i did survive the challenge. in fact, i had a fantastic time. the whole family was great, a lil bit on the nutty side but oh so entertaining. the crew ended up being me and deviant, his father and stepmum, his 21yo bro, 11 & 13 yo sisters and a fourty-something family friend. all fully qualified pissheads (well xcept the girls, but they'll get there for sure. the young one tried to steal my bloody bottle every time i looked away!)

i so bonded with the younger girly. she was *exactly* like my own lil sister. on the first night she sits next to me on the couch and goes: "are your nails real? i wish i had nails like yours..." and we were best pals ever since. she kept my drink full for the rest of the holiday. by the third night i told deviant that i wanted to adopt the lil missy. she was walking around in my sweaters and high heels and sitting on my lap by the camp fire to keep warm. beautiful, lively, smart and funny lil bugger. i told the dad to buy a shotgun. cause this lil missy is going to be bloody gorgeous in a couple of years and nothing short of a shotgun will keep the blokes away.

it has been years and years since i've felt a part of something like that. experiencing a family holiday that is. see having all my family back on the other side of the world kinda makes these public holidays and shit quite the lonely experience for me.

the trip ended up being sydney - canberra - bodalla - narooma - jervis bay - nowra - kangaroo valley - sydney. we stayed at deviant's home farm in canberra for the first two nights and then camped at bodalla for the next two. the camping ground at bodalla was great. it was full of wallabies, possums and kookaburras. and they were tame enough to just come and peak in your tent and just walk/jump through the camp. so adorable i tell you.

the sea was going apeshit, so the men couldn't really fish at all. naturally, they hit the piss instead. which was great. basically the trip was just a full on four day bender with incredible scenery and sight seeing.

see, sydney is great. it must honestly be the most beautiful city in the world (as long as you just ignore the architecture and shit) but countryside new south wales is the shit. honestly fucken incredible. amazing views non-stop. especially along the coast.

oh, as a bonust i got the material for my new video shot, which was great. left my camera at deviant's car so haven't been able to check the images on my comp yet. but they should be good.

i even went for a swim. after a massive night on sunday, i went for a swim with deviant and the 11yo lil sis on monday morning. heals the hangover i tell you. seems to be annual this swimming shit for me: three years and three times.

let's see if i'll get a piccie or two of my own to post in a few days. these pics were stolen from nsw tourism site. bad quality but gives the idea...
