Ida Valley

We love Ida Valley it is so peaceful and quiet and hot! Did I say Hot! Yes around 40 degrees celcius hot and dry just amazing! It was a great break 3 days there was just what we needed! Thanks Sandra and Sergio for allowing us go! We woke up to sounds of sheep and tractors the first morning and Emily and I went to investigate!

The Farmer was baling hay and it was interesting. The first tractor mounding the hay up and the second was like a vacuum cleaner and sucked it up and rolled it into a big circular bale which was then wrapped to hold with a netting and then it popped it out the back of a trailer like a hen laying an egg or as Emily said like doing a poo! Oh dear!

Keith and Aiden did part of the rail trail and the bike riding was a highlight for the two boys and Emily loved riding her bike too! Also loved being doubled by Keith! Mum did growl no helmets!

Enjoy the photos!
