…. a quick road trip to Sydney… Yes, in the middle of all this “hecticness” the kids and I had to go up to Sydney to renew our Dutch passports. The rules have changed and we couldn’t do them in Melbourne anymore. Quite a hassle. We were not the only ones on the day to come from interstate – there were some from Tassie and Qld too… quite an expensive affair for us, but it had to be done.

We took a few days to drive up and are on our way back now. We didn’t really do anything touristy, except stop by to see the dog:

It was at the end of a long day of driving and none of us were too impressed (sorry doggy) but at least we said: “Hi” 🙂

I booked an apartment style hotel in Campbelltown so that we could cook our own meals. It was quite nice….. and having brought Baby B in the boot, she got prime position on the desk:

Yes!! I worked on my Christmas ufo!! Aren’t I a good girl 🙂 Not finished yet…. need to keep at it!

Meanwhile, back on the farm, the container is nearly packed:

No, the photo is not on its side. There is a trailer in there on its side… with the wheels missing, and some chairs on their side and upside down… Dad knows how to pack every nook and cranny 🙂

Just got to finish up in the garden and clean the house, grab the last little bits out and then we will be done!!

I had hoped to finish up before we left for Sydney, but the people who were going to move in got accepted somewhere else, so we have a bit more time – which it turns out we need. It seems like all the last things take more time than expected.

We are in Wangaratta tonight, a little less than 4 hours back to Ballarat tomorrow… I was dreading this trip, but in the end, everything went smoothly at the embassy and we even have had a little relax.

Hope you are all having a great week!
