Korumburra with Gran

It was the last little trip with Mom on a glorious spring day, so it was off to Korumburra. We stopped off at Tooradin for coffee before arriving at Coal Creek Museum in Korumburra. After a stroll, we hit the high street before heading off to Lock for a fantastic lunch at a local wood-fired pizza restaurant. It was then back home to enjoy the sun to get ready for work tomorrow. PS Australia is awesome.

Sculpture Park

It's the final week of Mom's stay and today Martin had a PGA golf excursion at Sandhurst where he was closest to the pin and earned himself $100 of merch. While he was there Georgie and I went to McClelland Park for the 1st time and it was great. We collected Martin, picked up Karl and Gran and then headed to Mama Nuoi in Aspendale for lunch. A quick movie (The Matrix; as Gran has never seen it) and a BBQ later should round out the day as tomorrow's adventure awaits.

Bendigo with Gran

Whenever Gran arrives we go on a trip; this time it was to Bendigo. On the way, we stopped off in Castlemaine at the Viennese restaurant where Gran had goulash. We had been to Bendigo before and had the perfect place to stay that would make Gran's day, the All Seasons Hotel. We took the tram, visited The Great Stupa and ate like kings. I hope Gran had a good time as the weather was fantastic and the atmosphere was peaceful in good old Australia.

Snow fail

It's August and we are in the middle of winter but for 'the one week' we decide to go to Buller the snow hid and all lifts were stopped on the day due to high winds, so I chalk that up to bad luck. It's still a beautiful place just 2.5 Hours from Melbourne. Today however was another golf competition Martin took part in which took place at Sandhurst Golf Club. The lad sure has come on and plays some mean bogey golf (official 23 handicap). He has what it takes to be a very good player; it is now up to him. Next month is going to be crazy with my mom arriving, doing a speaking event in the Gold Coast and Karl's 18th Birthday.

Golf Comp

Martin participated in his second golf competition today at his home club Woodlands. Things started off well and then things turn south. With all that said, it was a fun day where dad was the caddy and the weather turned up to make it a beautiful winter's day. After the round and the card was handed in (Martin plays off a 21 handicap) we went for Ramen at Shyun Ramen Bar.
