A couple of weeks ago Rex and I took off to my family's fishing hut in the Howqua valley. No reception and no tv - bliss. The weather was warm and the river higher than I had seen it in years.
At one point we all went on a walk beside the river and eventually had to cross it to get back home because we had ventured too far from the bridge to go back. The water was so cold that it felt as though it was burning my skin and the rocks of the riverbed painfully dug into the soles of my feet as I crossed. I was yelling as the water came up to my stomach to keep my mind of the cold and I had to hold tight to Gibson's arm to keep myself from being swept away in the current!
These are a few happy snaps I took from our week away...
Dead foxes strung to a farm fence warding off other foxes.
The smell was so unbelievably vile it made my stomach churn uncontrollably.
Our kitchen
We got to spend time with my aunt, uncle and three cousins who were staying in their hut a few houses down from ours which was heaps of fun....most of my photos are of them!
Dishes drying in the morning light.
Gorgeous Olivia (my cousin's neighbour)

This is the view from the very top! Incredibly cold and windy!
