Family Outing Number 1...

Howard Springs

Well, it was almost a complete fizzer....

Initially we were not intending on going to Howard Springs.. we were going to go to the Crocodile Farm... on their website it said 'croc feeding - 2pm' however the Crocodile Park at Noonamah is now closed (when I called up the following day to see whether they were in fact closed, or we just went to the wrong gate... the receptionist said they had been closed since 'April'... however they had forgotten to update their website) so with a car full of unhappy disappointed boys.. we HAD to come up with an alternative 'quickly'....

So a trip to Howard Springs became our alternative.... so with ONE packet of Rice crackers... we went for a 'picnic' at Howard Springs. And it was lovely... there was only a few people there and NO mozzies, which made it very sad that it more than likely will be our last trip down to that lovely place... especially for Justin who once swam here with the Barra's, turtles and bacteria as a kid! (swimming is no longer allowed due to the bacteria present in the water!! but that wasn't a concern 20+ years ago...)
