Here are some photos from our four weeks in Drouin at the new Nicholls family seat.
No holiday with Sam is complete without lots of train rides. This time we went for a ride on the
Walhalla Goldfields Railway. The children in front of Kasey, the engine.
More old time Australia. The children clambered over every 19th century conveyance that they could find at
Gippsland Heritage park in Moe....
...including this old fire truck. Moments after this photo was taken, Hannah jumped out looking for something else. Half an hour later, Sam needed to be bribed to get him out of the driver's seat.
Walking through a rainforest is hungry work. Following a ramble in
Glen Nayook, the children recharge with muffins.
Aunty Vicki about to get hugged. Nicky trying to hide.
This photo of Sam adds to the stock of Nicholls photos of the View Master, one of the key technological innovations of the 20th century.
Grandpa making his famous soup.
The Nicholls family library. Books about cricket and footy on the back wall. Books about sheilas in long white dresses on the right hand wall.
Sam showing his style with our new game of Totem Tennis (that's Swingball for you Brits) during one of our barbecues at
Tarago Reservoir.
The 90 year old Noojee Trestle Bridge.
The children asked to go to
Melbourne Zoo on the day we arrived in Australia. After a couple of weeks we finally made it.
I kept being told to take photos in the same locations as last time.
Hannah and friends at
Gumbuya Park.
Hannah and Sam talked to the cockatoos. One of them had Sam laughing hysterically with his crazy dance routine.
All set for the Twister Karts.
Nana gives Hannah a loving cuddle. Hannah eyes up Nana's pudding. Lunch at
Brandy Creek Winery.
The hand of chocolate strikes.
Serious footy talk.
Sam's favourite new item of clothing. A black and red headband which, Grandpa assured him, made him look cool.
Uncle Dean. A portrait by Sam Nicholls.
Aunty Vicki providing a lesson in poise and decorum.
Vicki holding Hannah on her lap while Sam is doing his "I can rest on your shoulder with my chin" routine, yet again!
The end of a wonderful holiday, and a group shot where everyone is smiling!

Strictly speaking they are "Scrubbers in long white dresses", but the point is well made.
