James, Erin & Dougal

The Pinnacles

The cliffs are very similar to the clay cliffs at Omarama. 

Harper Valley

Today we took a drive out across the Avoca river and up the Harper valley. I have wanted to have a look up here for a while. There are some clay cliff formations known as the Pinnacles which I wanted to see. 

Fire

We got a good fire going in the evening. 

Crikey

New Zealand's answer to Steve Irwin. No crocs here so we told the kids he was looking for Gruffalos. 

Chainsaw

Dougal got James got a chainsaw for xmas. Thankfully this time it was just a toy one. It's a Husqvarna and looks and sounds like the real deal. James had fun trying to chop this tree down with it, then I chopped it down with a real chainsaw. 

Back to the Farmhouse

Summer is not summer without a trip to the Avoca. James is very excited about it all.
