Cowboys in Oz

We recently attended a 30th b-day celebration for one of the Engineers I work with (Tony) and the theme was "Cowboys and Indians".

Party goers dressed in their best western attire (cowboys, indians and even a cactus) joined in an evening of bbq cusine, mechanical bull riding, whip cracking and fireworks. Fun was had by all!

Coolah Tops National Park

Over the weekend we took the new customized motorbike/camper trailer Ben built out for it's inaugral run to the mountains. The Park was a beautiful place with the bluest skies I've ever seen and more stars than one could imagine!
Being the middle of winter (brrrr!) we made sure to "rug-up" (as the Aussies would say) , drink lots of wine and build roaring campfires to keep warm!
Cooking breakfast on an open fire....it doesn't get much better than that! Chef Benwah grills up some bacon, sausages and hash browns - yummo!
Among the incredible scenery, we came across a couple native critters such as a wombat wondering down the road, and near our campsite, a wallaby with a joey in it's pouch....cute!
