Playing catchup here - this was in fact the weekend of the 17th when we headed to the Hawkesbury river with Amanda and her extended family.
Played supermarket sweep round the nearest supermarket (me and Harri were the winning team - possibly because we were the only ones really committed to the game...) before loading up the tinny and crossing the water - all the more exciting in the pitch black, greatly aided by my head torch - I knew it would come in handy! Luckily the rain had stopped for 5 minutes so the hastily made bin bag onesies were not necessary...
A fantastic weekend was had, with far too much food, pretty much all cooked on the bbq. Played a lot of cards, drank a lot of wine etc. Played cranium with the winner getting to name one of Anthea and Jims new chickens. The poor things are now called Harri, Shenequa and Bobbyetta.
The location of the house is just amazing - right on the water with a great pontoon for sunbaking (when the sun was actually out...) The two banks of the river are a stark contrast - one covered in houses and a riot of colour (see pic below) the other a bleak rock face with trees clinging on for dear life.

Took off in the kayaks to investigate further up river and narrowly avoided getting run down by a seaplane. Smooth. Also completely forgot the whole 'sound travels across water rule'... David also caught a fish using his mad automatic fishing line things. Sadly by the time we noticed, something had already taken a bite out of it, making it rather less appetizing
When the sun came out we all jumped off the pontoon into the river, which was lovely and warm. Splashing around was rather caught short when they started discussing the various bull shark sightings in the vicinity though.
