Last weekend we left the van at Coffs and headed down to Sydney for John's extended family Christmas get-together. This is the first time we've been in a position to attend this now-annual event, and enjoyed the chance to catch up with relatives that in some cases we hadn't seen for several years. There are certainly a lot of them these days, with nearly 50 people of all ages enjoying the occasion.Once again John's sister Diane and her husband Steve provided us with terrific hospitality, we are looking forward to the day when we are finally in our own house and will be able to reciprocate. On Saturday we went walking with Diane in Brisbane Waters National Park, which sprawls across the area near Diane's house on the Central Coast, the weather was perfect for an interesting walk along several creeks and past lookouts and aboriginal carvings. Its amazing how much wonderful bushland in Australia can be found so close to suburbia.
