1 January 2013 – still in Sydney (last day at Kurmond)

There were lots of bodies lying about this morning and slowly they all rose and collaborated back on the deck to reminisce about the night before (or what we could remember of it anyway).  It was a very lazy morning in the extreme heat today to recover from our awesome celebrations last night.  Lots of bacon and eggs were cooked by Josh (T) to soak up the alcohol from the night before.  The slushy machines were set back up minus any alcohol and we nearly got through about 20 litres of these cordial slushies.  Slowly, people packed up and headed back to their own homes – except for us of course as this was our home for another day.  We eventually found the energy to do like a small stocktake of what was in the caravan to ensure that we weren’t leaving anything behind.  Tonight we went out for dinner to Windsor Leagues Club with our family for the final farewells.  It was a little on the upsetting side for some but in the end we managed to walk away and set our thoughts to what lies ahead.  Upon returning to our van at the Turner’s, we sent the kids off to a tent for their final sleep with Hannah, gorgeous to watch them all and listen into some of their chatter coming from their tent which was not far from the van.  One last pack and one last sleep to go!!!
