This is how I roll……
Boys will be boys…last day of road trip. Left the pizza boxes inside the motel room overnight….needed to feed the local ants as well! Ahhhhhh Lost a mobile phone and had to tear the place apart to find it. We left blood from a cut foot on the floor as well for good measure! Classy! ( we did clean everything up though)
Read MoreI fell asleep for 30 minutes and my son Max got hold of my phone and re- programmed my personal Siri settings for my name. This means that every time I use Siri, she calls me “Bollocks”. He decided to try and better it later on, and used “Hairy Testicles”. Gotta love 12yo boy humour!
Read MoreAdventure Day I took the lads for a wild walk to the bottom of Mt Shank Volcano. They were disappointed there was no lava but I sold it to them that we can make a word (Hi!) with some limestone rocks at the bottom and view it from the rim. ( a bit lame, but needed a distraction to avoid the whinging) A kangaroo jumped out of nowhere along the track (freaking us out), and we saw a snake on the road nearby. Checked out Little Blue Lake where teenagers…

Read MoreLearning Day Today we were cavemen – went into both Tantanoola & Princess Margaret Rose Caves. The boys were surprised at how much they enjoyed the caves. They especially liked Princess Margaret Rose Caves as it was very deep down and had a lot more interesting features. Rule to remember Stalactites – ” hold on tight (hang down) stalagmites – ” might get to the top one day” (bottom). Helictites go sideways. We did plenty of sightseeing including Blue Lake ( for 3 minutes), Umpherston Sinkhole to feed possums and…
Read MoreDriving & Action Day A ‘Bucking’ Good Time Had By All A Day in the life of a cowboy!….Mt Gambier Rodeo. Had an amazing experience tonight with the lads by scoring the closest vantage point to the bulls and broncos (without actually riding them). Met a former rodeo promoter that got us a position right between the judges near chute 6, and on the gate where the riders walk through after they have been bucked off. Was incredible to feel the power of the 900kg – 1000kg bulls smashing into…

Read MoreWe’re off! What was an idea yesterday – is now reality.We have loaded up the Van and headed South East towards Mount Gambier. The overnight stop is at The Big Lobster motel at Kingston. Can you believe we could not find a motel with a 60ft orange lobster on top of it? Man! the motel room was small. The lads had to sleep together and were practically stepping over each other. Usual ‘man rules’ apply: $5 fine for any audible flatulence . $10 fine for a detected SBD ( silent but deadly),…
Read MoreGemini Characteristics…pretty close to the mark! Nice. Love is one of a kind. Great listener. Very good at confusing people. Lover not a fighter, but will still knock you out. Geminis will not take any crap from anyone. Geminis like to tell people what they should do and get offended easily. They are great at losing things and are forgetful. Geminis can be very sarcastic and childish at times and are very nosy. Trustworthy. Always happy. VERY Loud. Talkative. Outgoing. VERY FORGIVING. Loves to make out. Has a beautiful smile.…
Read MoreConfession of a “Tingler” Fruit tingles are no longer what they used to be and I am not happy. Someone is messing with the recipe in my opinion and the new version is nowhere near as good. Sure… the pink, orange, yellow and green tingles pass the taste test , but what about the elusive ‘speckled tingle’ ? You know the one, the yellow tingle stunningly scattered with small morsels of tanginess from the other colours in the packet. That’s right, the ‘holy grail’ of tropical flavoured candy is not…
