Relaxing by Jindabyne Lake

It was another relaxing day by the Lake at Jindabyne. The kids have been riding their bikes, jumping on the inflatable jumping pillow and riding on the paddleboats. Not bad for a school day. In an hour or so it's time for school though. Josh performed his first reverse park with the caravan and did very well. Especially as there were many grey nomads watching every move he made. Actually, they are incredibly friendly and love to help out whenever they can.

The Snowy Mountains are really beautiful. Very different to the landscape anywhere else in Australia. It's very dry here, incredible when you think that parts of Australia are flooding at the moment. We drove a little today to a distillery that makes fruit Schnapps which was delicious. Much to Oscar's disgust he was not able to try it, being too young and all. He has however enjoyed looking at the cows in the paddocks as we drive past. All we here from the back is mmmmm......beef. I think he is dreaming of his next steak.

We also visited a Trout Hatchery which was closed to go on the tour but one of the workers there gave us some fish food and we managed to feed the wild trout in the river. Jem wasn't happy with the smell it left on his hands.
