So this was my cake after surgery (above0 and below with cream and sparklers and singing
Of course when one travels 5 hours to get to a pretty spot one feels the need to be busy (it helps me stay awake which is safer for my darling family). I started this little project 2 years ago on another trip and thought this would be an opportune moment to keep going. I think i have made about 60 hexagons over the Easter weekend all made using scraps from Little Miss B's smocked dresses. I am still not sure quite what to do with them. I have visions of maybe a baby quilt or a bigger quilt years in the future but for now I keep cutting up these fabric scraps and making them into Hexies and hexie flowers - maybe some lucky quilter will find them at an op shop in the future and do something grand with them who knows.
This was an old hut from the original sheep station that had been restored 
Sir TP thought the sleeping conditions were pretty good - although a little dusty.
At the highest point on the property we added our rock to the Cairn and enjoyed the view on another spectacular day. The trip home had us driving through twilight and dusk and saw lots of native animals. The wet conditions have meant a soaring number of giant Orb spiders (I could have lived without this), strangely we never saw a single sheep on this property.
Cheers
The children mimicked the native poses on this fake rock sculpture and read the story about the original inhabitants of the area.
We looked at old equipment left behind
We went up to the look out - a steep climb and ate our lunch looking over the Pound.
The days were beautiful, the nights were chilly. The children were a little anxious as to whether the Easter Bunny would find them - he did. And then if the native animals would find their eggs first and eat them - they didn't. It was very chilly dashing around finding little eggs around the tent and car but it was fun
We left very early Friday morning here is Little Miss B stopped in Port Augusta to stretch our legs.
We camped without power at Wilpena Pound here is the tent going up. The emus were not at all bothered by us setting up camp and kept wandering past all weekend.
Sir Tp busied himself making a fire circle and laying out twigs to get it started.
And Miss B waited inanticipation for Marshmellows.
I will fill in some more details later
Cheers
Her name is Gwen - here is Angel meeting Gwen - Angel is a bit cold in the mornings - she has on her uggies and socks. I love Gwens long long hair and her funky satin top. She has earrings and pink nail polish (B is a little jealous).
I also got a treadmill for my birthday - I have given up on going to the Gym it is hard to fit it in around everyone elses committments so I will have to give the treadmill a good try now (I am running out of options to try and stay fit!). We have just got home from an EAster adventure I will share more later but for now I am off to hit the washing pile it has taken over the house.
