Pump Pump Pump - Cooma Dam
Me and the girls decided it was time for fishing and to try out our new boat. We had previously made plans to carry a boat of some description and this is what we came up with.. Very handy little number and with an electronic motor attached we can buzz along quite quickly without rowing..
Check the girls pumping the boat up

The Great Camper Damper
When you ask the girls "where does milk come from"? the used to say .... "from the shops". After showing them some farm life we have tried to re-educate them on the basics.
Making bread was one of the things we knew would be educational. But first we had to make "FIRE". and without matches or a lighter. We baked some potatoes as well in the coals.
Then mummy kneaded up some dough and away we go!
Sorry for the corny poetry

Day 1 - Bon Voyage!
DAY 1
After staying our first night at our good friends Kelly & Peter, we set off for first destination, Canberra.
Our goal is to reach Canberra with enough time to visit Cockington Green, A collection of miniature towns and settings from around the world. Unfortunately as we approached Canberra it started to rain and so we decided to make the visit in the morning if we could park our huge rig in their car park.
A cold stop to snap the ACT Sign
We pulled into the "Canberra Motor village" and for our first van park we couldn't drive the van in the normal way because the van park was having some upgrading done. Therefor the van had to be reversed into position 'all the way'. Luckily Wayne's history with towing boats and box trailers paid off and the job of parking the van was spot on. The girls were very excited and Poppy & Nanna Mal where there waiting for us.
We decided to have dinner in town and get a good night sleep in preparation for the following day at Cockington Green. (weather permitting).
All in all a good first day to our many months of travelling.
