At least that’s how the tour guide for the kid’s torchlight adventure walk sold it to Kelsie and Ethan. Smugglers in basements, best mates stabbing each other to death, warfies disposing of street urchins over the contents of their lunch boxes. Not to mention towns founded by a Convict.

Kelsie and Daddy survived the stand-up paddleboard, neither of them fell into the Murray, despite the best efforts of a submerge log. The 5.5km journey, even though it was downstream has taken its toll on Daddys legs. Ethan and Mummy were supposed to watch from the riverbank but gave up when after 30min Kelsie and Ethan hadn’t made it to town yet. Ethan was very excited to spot a Kookaburra.

Ethan and Mummy then went shopping a present he had been promised because Kelsie received a surprise box of LOL toys before we went on holiday. This and ‘spending his money’ on rocks at the crystal shop were the highlights of the day.

Kelsie went from one extreme to the other between yesterday and today. Yesterday there were tears and leaping out of the pool because of an insect. Today she was trying to befriend a fly at dinner and had named it Lula.
