With relaxing of the COVID restrictions Australia wide and the reopening of state borders, people are on the move again.
Our area has always been a major holiday destination, but this year with the Easter long weekend combined with school holidays, we have been inundated with ‘touros’.
Good for the local economy, not so much for the amenity of the area.
Traffic is on the highways has been relentless. Sadly, a single car accident just down the road from us took 3 lives very early on Saturday morning. Probably fatigue related.
As a result of the ‘invasion’, we stock up on food a few days before Good Friday, shut the gate, and lock ourselves away for 5 days or so. This also gives the cattle a chance to really eat down the grass around our house paddock uninterrupted. They have been doing a great job so far.
This year the co driver’s birthday fell on Easter.
We celebrated with fresh oysters and tiger prawns, prawn cutlets to fry, BBQ’d fresh salmon and a bottle of Italian Prosecco.
There were even some prawn leftovers to make up a big wok full of nasi goreng for the next night.
I consumed numerous hot cross buns on the Friday (as well as the days (weeks?) before) and then, as a substitute for chocolate eggs, Maltesers on Sunday.
Weather has been of the perfect Autumn kind ie. cool mornings, warm sunny days, little wind but it seems we are in for more rain later on in the week.
That’ll top up the house tank again.
