Being first to arrive (and, honest, I did not speed!) I parked
the bike in a place unlikely to cause issues, or be in the way.
Then, well, the photo is obvious - one giant tree and a not-so-small
motorcyle which looks small due to the size of the tree.
Kelly and a sly Lily on the driveway of Camp David. We - the surprisers -
were all here, as Cooper, Tynan and Flynn are in the background.
At this time, the what might loosely be called planning for the
surprise arrival was going on.
The view to the south from the fence along the edge. The property
is a dairy farm, and we could hear the cows bellowing more than
mooing. Kangaroo Valley's initial use was dairying, and still quite
a bit goes on.
The view of Camp David from the south east corner. Those with children
slept in the building on the left; Peter and Yvonne had the master
bedroom in the wing joining the two buildings, and Keiran and I had
bedrooms upstairs at the far end of the building on the right.
A view from the driveway showing the pool and spa (left end of pool)
and distant hills to the east of Kangaroo Valley.
The view of Camp David's buildings from the northern side. Keiran and
I had the bedrooms in the building on the left (Keiran had room on
left). The middle building was the young family wing, and Peter
and Yvonne's room is behind the bushes.
This is the TV viewing area, in the "main" building. The railing on
the left is where the stairs are located, and there is a TV on
the wall. The 2 bedrooms (Keiran's and mine) are to the left,
"behind" the TV. The area below is the lounge room, quite
visible over the railing to the right.
The master bedroom, with a view over the front lawn, the
adjacent dairy farm and the far hills. The suitcase on the left shows
that Peter and Yvonne have arrived. But then they departed -
"back" to Wollongong for a music revival show. Rather than returning
to Camp David after the show and a meal with friends, they stayed
the night in Wollongong.
Then it was time for dinner - Glenn and Kelly were in charge.
Here they are working in the kitchen - chicken on the barbeque,
at least for us meat eaters. And it was good.
