Down the coast

Sorry guys, I've been super lazy the last few weeks. Back in business though :) I've been spending my time in the new year catching up with all my friends after being away, working, and getting ready to start Uni! Two weeks ago I went down to my families beach house for a week, my absolute favourite place on earth at Hyams Beach. I spent my time reading Harry Potter, surfing and sleeping so I didn't take too many photos:

My little slice of paradise.

One last getaway

Because I am leaving, Will and I decided to take a few days off and head down to my beach house at Hyams Beach. It was the perfect time to go, as we have been experiencing ridiculously hot weather for winter at the moment. When I was on the beach in my bikini, I kept turning to Will and saying "Jeez, can you believe we're in the middle of winter!?" It was crazy. Anyway here are some photos of our time away. 

On a not so nice note, I started getting a sore throat on our last night and woke up the next day with a cold. I'm so upset - I always get sick before something important happens and am praying it will go away before my flight on Sunday!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

As promised, here are some photos from my trip to Thredbo (my favourite ski resort, about 6 hours south of Sydney). I need to give credit to my mum for some of these photos, as it would have been slightly challenging to take my SLR on the slopes with me. 

The beautiful sunrise on the way down

Super duper keen to hit the slopes

Will, cruising along on his board

The ski gang (minus mum who took the photo)

Out and about in the village

Having drinks at my favourite ski bar - The Denman

More drinks at The Denman

I'm back

As the title suggests, I am back in good old Sydney (I've been back since Friday actually... please forgive my laziness and lack of blogging) and it feels great. Because now I have just under 3 weeks till India! I apologize in advance for the overload of photos you are about to receive, I got a little carried away and took far too many. Anyway, here are some of the photos from my many adventures out on the farm at Cowra.

Afternoon sun through through the clouds and trees

Sunset over the main paddock

                                           Bundy riding on the back of the ute                                                                     One of the various bonfires

Will and Kat having a dance in the paddock

                      Molly looking like a glamour-puss before the races                                                  The excitement after Kat's horse won

The six of us all dressed up for race day

Wandering over to the racecourse to place a bet

Me and my sexy man

Last race of the day (the only race I lost)

Tree climbing is always a big past time at Cowra...

...As is yabbying

Yuuum, dinner!!

This big fella was intrigued by my camera

                                            Peeling paint on the old shed                                                 The quickest way to get around the property

Scenes from the paddocks

Yet another cosy fire

There is nothing more satisfying than fishing your own dinner...so fresh!

The trip would not be complete without a visit to the cute lambs

I am already SO excited for next year. Stay tuned for photos from the snow.
