Tobruck Sheep Station

An article in Sydney morning herald about the farm stay at this place was informative but did not give a hint of the wonderful show these guys also offer. Our camera battery ran down and hence posting no pictures of this outing:(

Some very interesting things we did at the show-

1) Enjoyed Damper with Billy tea on arrival- Both prepared the traditional way.
2) Learnt a lot about Sheep Shearing and Harshal got to try it too.
3) Had a fabulous vegetarian sit-down lunch
4) Tried our hand at Boomerang and whip cracking.

Needless to say Arya had fun with farm animals :)

Sydney Olympic Park

Has wonderful bike trails and we made the most by riding along with Arya in the child seat behind. She had fun.
