The weekend

So the weekend was fantastic, especially having my son. Saturday we did yard work so my garden is looking pretty smick and I'm ready for the rain. I'd forgotten how quickly the grass likes to grow with a little bit of nitrogen.

Sunday we headed out to Litchfield National Park and spent the day swimming and picnicing at Florence Falls creek. With it being still early for the wet season there wasn't too much water and the fact that the little rock dam we've spent years building up was partially knocked down. But it was lovely to just relax and play.

Boardwalk at Manton Dam rec. area

On the way home we called into Manton Dam recreation area. I've not been there since I was a child myself. The kids ran around and we sat and watched other families that had boats and tubes on the lake. The boardwalk and everything about the place made me want to just build a cabin and stay forever.

The last stop was Manton Dam wall. It's a very interesting place (Manton Dam Information). We've been there a few times, at different times of year. Currently there isn't enough water to flow over the wall which is why we climbed down and had a look around.
