Really of all places! But camp in Holbrook was what we did. It kept us together for another day, which suited everyone. Kirsten headed off via the Blue Mountains. I left with Krysta and Milla a little later and headed down the Hume. The new car had it&#8217;s first long drive. I did not quite make it there and back again on one tank of fuel. There were a few\u00a0teething\u00a0problems. The raido, which soon would be replaced had developed it&#8217;s unwillingness to turn on problem. I&#8217;d found that power cycling it helped a little. The kids were very well behaved. We got to Holbrook and hour or two before Kirsten. I set up the tent with some help from Krysta. It is\u00a0annoying, but there is one small step that needs a second person. Otherwise I could put the whole thing up on my own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/5604919859\/sizes\/l\/in\/photostream\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8485\" title=\"Camping in Holbrook\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-01-02-at-17-12-18.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To the delight of the children there was a swimming pool. We spent quite a long time swimming there waiting for Kirsten. Just as I had had enough she arrived. It was our first night camping together. Milla was a bit\u00a0apprehensive, but a walk with Kirsten calmed her down a lot. Though my forgetting of the blow up bed for the kids did not help. It seem I am the one who is most used to sleeping on a termal mat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/5604920181\/sizes\/l\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8486\" title=\"Camping in Holbrook\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-01-02-at-17-12-19.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/5604920915\/sizes\/l\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8487\" title=\"Camping in Holbrook\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-01-02-at-17-32-24.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/5605504100\/sizes\/l\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8488\" title=\"Camping in Holbrook\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-01-02-at-17-32-29.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The next morning we had a slow start. The kids had another swim, this time with Kirsten, while I did some packing up. Then Kirsten decided to rearrange all the bags. At 10 AM the grumpy man, but kind, came to check that we were going. I think by that stage we just had the bag repacking to go. So it was around 11 AM that we actually headed out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/5622740489\/sizes\/l\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8499\" title=\"Holbrook\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2011-01-03-at-08-16-54.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/5622741329\/sizes\/l\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8498\" title=\"Holbrook\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2011-01-03-at-10-48-41.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">And if you were wondering, yes the man is grumpy.
