Sundays in my City #12 - Last Sunday at Kokoda

I didn't get a chance to play along with Sundays in my City last week.  I had a really good excuse, I was in Kokoda and completely out of range for any wifi.  In fact, there was no phone coverage, no electricity and not that it has any impact upon my ability to blog, there was no plumbing either!  Even if I did work out how to connect via the emergency sat phone, I really didn't have any room in my backpack to carry a laptop (not even my tiny little macbook air!) as my pack was already 20kg and jam packed with essentials like sleeping gear, a tent, food and water.

Instead I made the most of the beautiful surroundings, got to know the wonderful people that I was sharing the journey with and we walked.  Over 8 days we walked from Kokoda to Owers Corner - 96km of back breaking trekking, through tropical jungles and over a mountain ranges.  It was stunning.

Remembering where I injured myself last year! (Who needs ankle ligaments anyway?)

There are so many more photos to add and memories to share in the coming weeks, in the meantime, there are a few pics and articles over here if you want to know more.

Sunday in my City #3 - Climbing Mountains

We are joining in with Unknown Mami and Sunday in our City again and this time we are actually showing you what we did today.

Milla had soccer and it was an away game, far far away, out in the country.

Milla is #23

The best part of going all the way to the country for soccer is that we had a chance to catch up with grandma for lunch and then we went hiking.  Mum goes hiking out here all the time and today was the first chance that we had to climb Mt Macedon with her and some of her trekking friends.  It was a great walk, about 7km all up, we hope we can go hiking together again soon.

Family adventures are fun :-)

Now I know we complained that we had to go all the way out to the country for our adventures, but really it was only an hours drive away from where we live and we had great fun.  It is great exploring the countryside but we always love coming back home to Melbourne!
