Wordless Wednesday

For Karen

A friend flicked me this today ;)

I didn't really have a blog post but needed to get rid of the hot chips blog post title!

Slushie's and Hot Chips.

Not overly multi-cultural but that's what our girls wanted to eat. We went to the multi-cultural festival on Saturday night with friends and enjoyed ourselves with half of Canberra. So packed it wasn't funny!

The festival has gone from strength and is just huge now compared to how little it was when I went as a child. Nice to see the festival evolving over time.

First Day

Schools started off well this year. The first year when all 3 are at the same school. Oh the joy that brings! All three are happy with their respective teachers and we have quickly settled into the 'at school' routine.

During the holidays Squealy received a letter from his teacher. It was so cute, as it asked him to send her a picture. This is what he drew. Squealy is on the right. His teacher is actually blond :) Loving the smiles!

Suzyboo's White Chocolate Fudge

White Chocolate Fudge

250g butter, chopped
2 x 395g cans sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup golden syrup
2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

1. Line a 20 x 30cm pan with baking paper. Make sure the paper extends over the sides for easy removal of the fudge.

2. Combine the butter, condensed milk, golden syrup and brown sugar in a large saucepan.

3. Place over a low heat and stir until the butter has melted. Keep stirring until the mixture boils. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring constantly.

4. Remove from the heat and add the white chocolate. Whisk the mixture until the white chocolate melts and the fudge is smooth.

5. Pour into the prepared pan. Smooth with a knife of you need to. Cool at room temperature (takes hours) and then chill for 2-3 hours in the fridge until firm.

6. Cut into squares of the desired size and enjoy.

Coast Trip #4

One of many Lizards Squealy found in the scrubby bush land surrounding 'One Walk For All'.

While down the coast we took the 'One Walk For All' on the northern headland reserve at Ulladullah. There are two tracks to take and they are filled with the art works of local artist: Noel Butler.

Beautiful carvings tell the history of Ulladullah from an indigenous perspective. There are some stunning views back towards Ulladullah harbour and town centre on the southern trail. The northern trail has beautiful views of our fave swimming spot Bogey Hole and Mollymook.





Squealy loved looking for lizards along the trails. He also found lots of local birds.

Coast Trip #3

Left: Squealy getting ready to catch some waves @Wairo Beach, Lake Tabourie. Crampton Island in the background.

Right: Fuzzy running out of the surf. When did this boy start looking like a teenager?

While down the coast we went to see the Lennon Bros Circus. Wow what a fun filled evening. We weren't allowed to photograph anything during the show, so I only have a few pictures of the kids waiting to go into the big top. The kids just loved it. Esp. the part of the show where a monkey was riding a horse around. So funny. The kids got to have a pony ride at half time which they loved...and my stoopid camera decided to crap itself right at that point so the photos are terrible :(

Hanging out with friends: at Ulladullah exercise park at Mollymook beach.

Left: Squealy spent alot of time trying to either catch bugs or lizards :)

Right: Squealy rock climbing at the Mollymook Bogey Hole.

Our Fave spot is the Bogey Hole at Mollymook, which we found accidently during last years coast trip :)

The photo posted is of the Bogey Hole at low tide.
Husband Deluxe, our friends and the kids are splashing around having a ball.

One of Mollymook best natural features is the 'Bogey Hole', a large circular rock pool located on Mollymook Headland.
The Bogey Hole is a tidal pool and is very shallow at low tide. Its protective ring of rocks ensures a safe and fun environment for children and adults of all ages. Hours of entertainment can also be enjoyed whilst exploring its surrounding rock platform.
For those who can swim, and only during high tide, try launching from popular Dive Rock.
The safe shallow waters of the Bogey Hole make it an ideal location for families with young children and for those people who prefer a calm spot for a dip. It also offers safe snorkeling and is a great spot for a picnic day out.
You can easily walk around the headland from the southern end of Mollymook Beach to the Bogey Hole and Collers Beach or drive to its car park via Riversdale Avenue across Mollymook's Beachside Golf Course.
