Today was a great day. A bit of a sleep in (no work!!! yippeee!) and a fairly leisurely get ready to go out. I say fairly leisurely because we had a time limit and a 4yo to get ready, AND I was trying to take a bit of gear that needed tearing down and packing up. In the midst of all this we had our friends pop over with their son to play for a while, so it was almost a miracle we got out the door before midday.
We then headed up to a little caravan park near Sackville. I don't know the exact locality, all I know is we took a little putt putt ferry and got there. I have been there a few times. It is set on the banks of the Hawkesbury, I believe. Very pretty, a lot like the farm we had when I was a kid. My Aunt and Uncle have a van up there, and they stay there occasionally. They have been going "up the river" for well over 30 years. Their van is aptly called "Updariva". I love them a lot, they are a great couple and it's such a great thing they are my Aunt and Uncle :) They have both had their rough trots, and they smile and keep on battling on. My Aunt you can see in the background with the umbrella - she has had at least ten malignant melanomas removed, and undergone countless surgeries to have lymph nodes and other bits removed. She's a real battler and a real inspiration.
Today we had a nice chat over lunch, then a splash in the river. It has just rained so the water is a muddy brown.
This photos was taken with my GoPro Hero2. I used the FishEye Hemi Photoshop plug-in to reduce the fisheye a bit, adjusted levels and sharpened a bit. I love this little camera. One large light up high at about 5:00 position I think, judging from the shadows. Full power :)
