• You go camping for New Years
  
• You enjoy the peace and quiet
  
• You go to bed before midnight

Ahh well, I am 33 now and life slows down a bit… NOT!

Rachel and I camped on the Broken river, some kms from Mansfield, on my cousin Peter Reynolds’ property. It was rather pleasant, but for a few minor irritations:

• The tiger snake that appeared about a minute after we got there. Gave me a fright too!
  
• The grass seeds that got into everything- socks, shoes and skin.

But enough whining- it was very nive to get away, relax and read a book, drink a beer and otherwise do sweet FA. Life I tells Ya!

Pictured right is a rather fortunate/flukey pic I got. I was walking along the river bank, trying to get a snap of a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo that had taken up position on the top of a dead tree. As I got closer he did a runner and this pic is the result. I am uncommonly pleased with the outcome.

A Happy New Year to all!
