Australia Day at Glenreagh

What a way to spend Australia Day, relaxing by a local watering hole.

The crystal clear water looked so inviting, but a predator had been terrorising us the last few days making the kids (and some adults) a bit scared to go swimming. After Ryan identified the toe nibbler as a giant cat fish, the boys ( Brett and Shaun) came armed with fishing rods and worms they had freshly dug up from the property. Bam! First cast, Shaun caught the nasty perpetrator and the swimming hole was safe again!

The kids did not get out of the water for the entire day, they had floats, snorkels, flippers and rope swings to keep them busy. They named the blow up mattress the ‘Turtle Express’ and went turtle watching. I asked them to catch me a turtle for a photo, but they were not successful. After a while Brett spots a turtle in the shallows, grabs his net from the car and caught me a turtle. We all enjoyed having a hold and a photo with the turtle.Læs mere
