Car camping at Bents Basin

What a glorious place to camp with the most enormous waterhole I've ever seen. There was a rapid emptying into it at one end and we swam there and had great fun trying to swim up it.  A perfect weekend.

Gavin cooking sausages. An institution !

Swim at Bronte

 A glorious swim at Bronte, followed by a meal at a Brazilian restaurant.

The famous annual G&T Xmas Party

Always an absolute blast with lots to eat.  I love it all except the Secret Santa game at the end. With Gavin's highly suspect rules, the game goes on for ever and you always, always have your preferred gift stolen, thus destroying all remnants of festive cheer!!  No, only joking. It's part of the annual tradition and wouldn't be the same without it.

Rajesh's housewarming

Rajesh has bought a fabulous flat so we went to celebrate.  Anusha shared with us a beautiful dance she is practising for an upcoming wedding.  She moves so beautifully, it was wondrous and special to behold.

 

Hiking and overnight camping at Garden of Stone

 One of my favourite hikes, a wonderful low effort, high return affair with stunning views and incredible rock formations.  I just love my hiking crew so much, spending time with them is always sublime and lots of laughter round the campfire as always.
