Blue Mountains

Spent a couple of nights in the Mountains visiting some friends.

Found out it was our Uncle John and Aunty Sunny's 48th wedding anniversary on the 29th December. That was some coincidence that we happened to drop in on that day.

Hung out in expensive Leura and made an expensive toy purchase. However, now we are back in Sydney I realise that we could have bought it cheaper on the net. So we shall be converting to online shopping for the future. Therein lies another lesson!

Also reckon that lot of those restaurants and cafes are overrated and too expensive for what they provide. Tourist traps.

Santa comes to the Greyhound track

Ok, yes, here I am again, bad parent, what am I teaching my daughter? Santa arrived by ute on the greyhound track! Great Australian values.

Wentworth Park Greyhounds had free entry for families, present from Santa, bouncey castle, petting zoo and face painting all for free. All this to the background of races being called, bookies in place and of course the long TAB counter.

OK, we are unlikely to ever go back to watch the greyhound races, but was blown away with the real estate that the dogs have, how on earth do they afford that space, when there are so few people going?

Also was fascinated by that bunny zooming around the track.

Ho, ho, ho

Christmas carols at Elizabeth farm



So what is it about Christmas carols, that the songs are always played so that it is very hard to sing along. Either too high, or the tempo is super fast or slow.


It must be why women singing in church always have that strained kind of thing happening.

Having said that, this was a lovely space for carols. It was a rather refreshing Christmas carols, not too big, so the kids could run around, you could see the band and the singing, there was plenty of room to spread out.




All the kids got to line up for Santa and received a gift. The setup allowed the kids to go up the front and sing along, or listen to the Night before Christmas.

Definitely one of the better carols I have been to.
