Here we are, we don't often get our photo together as it is usually just us!
After the lookout it was time to cut some firewood. Son 17 was adept with the chainsaw. We won't mention the log splitting back at camp.
KISA cut some more, even left his foot uninjured though in this picture it looks like he will cut it off.

Another lumberjack in the family. Need to work on the log splitting though.
On the way back to the cabin, we stopped at Broken River for a coffee and a bit of stone skimming at the old swimming hole. You can see the stone skimming the water in this picture.
Thanks to KISA's expert photography and the camera's capacity to take a million photos a second, we were able to get some action shots. Each one of these was at the precise second the stone left their hands. George has the best style I think.
You can even see the stone in this one.
Son 17 has a style all of his own. It is identical in all three stone throws we got on the film. You can see the stone here too.
We went back for some sausages and onions (lots of onions!) at the best BBQ in the world for lunch, to be followed by tennis and touch footy.
KISA and Jdubya have found that now the boys have grown up they are a little harder to beat at the usual games. In fact they were impossible to beat. We chopped some wood (ahem) and built a fire and sat around it till dinner time. We attracted some other campers who came to share our fire. We left them in charge of it around 7 and went to the chalet (local pub) for tea. It was quite nice. KISA and I had the soup, and Son 17 a steak, George had a chicken Kiev, Jdubya has chips and gravy as he had overdosed on cheese and biccies by the fire. There was a blues band from Sydney playing that was quite good, and the boys played a couple of games of pool. Then back to the cabin for The Poker Game, which was won by Son 17. We owe him a $5 dollar scratchie after some little bet on the rules with KISA. Turned out he was right. The original alcohol fuelled bet was Son 17s life against our house (KISA) , but in the morning it was rewagered on a $5 scratchie. Which we lost. So we keep the house! (Phew)

Next morning, early, KISA, Jdubya and I ventured out in the freezing morn to visit with the platypus. It was very calm at the platypus pool, apart from the 20 or so tourists who also wanted to visit with the platypus. We watched this little blue kingfisher catch several bugs for breakfast.
