Event No.1:
Brett & Alison got Married = roadtrip!
Isaac's uncle married his long time sweetheart Alison in a beautiful ceremony in the mountains. However, this ideal setting in the mountains happened to be a good 8 hours drive away in Nundle, NSW. So the family (comprising of Chris & Steven, Rod & Alanna, Gemma & Chris, Scott, Al, Jess and Kez&Ize) piled into mini bus and took a road trip down past Tamworth deep into the Cockroach country. Snacks, arguments over whether or not it was a smokers stop or a toilet break, and a drunk GPS navigator were just some of the highlights of this memorable trip! On the day after the ceremony we jumped into the back tray of a 4'be and bobbed down a dirt road around some mountains to a log cabin where we had a bbq lunch and lots of yummy cake. Here are some piccies:
Jess, Gemma, Grandma, Scott, Ize, Kez
Event No.2:
Camping
The weekend after Brett and Alison's wedding, the Englart & Sherriff family went camping at Booloumba Creek, which is in between Malany and Kenelworth. Now, this is Kerrie's first time inside a tent...so it was another experience of her's to tick off her Things To Do Before Death List. It is pleasing to report that she loved it and would do it again! However next time there would definately need to be many more blankets...and maybe a soft toy to hug for comfort at night. The bush party people were: Chris & Steven, Gemma & Chris, Rod, Kez&Ize, Scott, Val & Leo, Grandma Shirley & Merv, Jess & Sam, Marg & Robbie, and Helen and Steve. So it was a fantastic weekend of kiwi jokes, awesome food, lots of burning sh*t, so much booze we could have started a recycling plant, goannas, birds, ugly coat loving catapillars, and lots of food and booze...and more food...and a bit more booze...and a long long long, cold, dark walk to the toilets.
The main purpose of this camping trip was to bury Jo Englart's ashes, Isaac & Jess's mum. A georgous massive tree was picked just off a little into the bush from our campsite, we held a cerimony, Isaac dug the hole at the tree's base, Rod spread the ashes, Rod & Jess said a few words, and we all toasted with champagne to Jo and felt she was with us. It was very moving and an appropriate place too.
Here is proof that we were really there:
a) the plebs tents
b) the BEST tent (yes...thats our forest palace)
c) the stream through our campsite
d) an awesome tree
e) Marg, Jess, Chriss, Merv, Grandma, Ize
f) the swimming hole
g) Ize skipping stones
h) the oven/fireplace/sole source of entertainment
