Why oh why Dee Why

Spent one of the last days of school holidays hanging with my mate Rohan on the northern beaches...

First day of high school

Another first day a few years ago...

Flying and driving

I've always wanted to be able to fly...

But my latest obsession is driving...

...and the need for speed!

Junior masterchef

Go karting

Finally, I am tall enough to reach the pedals so that I can drive the kart myself! 

Yee-har!

On New Years Day, we went to a country rodeo. 

They had events like barrel racing, steer wrestling, horse and bull riding.

I even had a go myself. 

We're all going on a summer holiday...

...walking on quiet beaches

 ....climbing rocks (the same ones used to make the pylons of the Sydney Harbour Bridge)

...posing with my little sister

...going to little country towns with derelict tennis courts (in the background) and old-fashioned playgrounds. Mums says you never see swings, slippery dips or see-saws like this anymore.
