We just spend the long weekend with Brad's family in Gloucester which is about 4 hours drive north of Sydney. The family own quite a bit of land (over 1000 acres in all) and have farmed it for many years. Brad's mum has just bought some more land and is gradually opening the farmhouse as a B&B and is currently building lodges. Take a look at www.damitgetaway.com.au
Being in the middle of nowhere, the house is home to many animals. From the cows that graze in the pastures to the parrots and galah's that come down and eat from the bird tables. Then there are the deadly tiger snakes. With 5 minutes of meeting Brad's mum, I was being given a "training" session on what to do if I came across a snake. (run!) and I was shown the different kinds of snakes that they have seen around the area. Not to forget Roley the extremely large golden lab & the 2 cats who pad about the farm all day
The weather has been really bad for summer. It has rained most days and I have been wearing jumpers in the evenings. The temps have been quite high compared to Scotland but after travelling anything under 20 deg is feeling quite cold! Our box of clothes, sea mailed from Mumbai arrived in Gloucester when we were there so we have got extra clothes to wear (hurrah!).
