This weekend we went with the family up to the Entrance 150km North of Sydney.
We stayed at a small resort in the middle of The Entrance close to the water and restaurants.
When we arrived on the Friday night it was really windy and cold...I had left behind my jacket in Sydney rushing out the door but fortunately I had enough jumpers to still stay warm.
We were staying close to the bridge across the Entrance and underneath the bridge there were some nice lines that I quickly rushed out to capture before sunset.
Next day we spend around the local area looking at the market, playground etc.
In the afternoon there was pelican feeding which definitely was worth seeing.
One of the birds had a fish hook stuck in its neck and the feeders quickly caught it to try and pull it out.
They also have this insanely long jetty going into the lake. I wanted to do a sunset photo but the conditions weren't great...no spectacular clouds and the water was full of seaweed that had been blown in with the wind.

This morning it was a beautiful winter day here in Sydney and we decided therefore to go duck feeding in Centenial Park with Aiden and Dylan (I was supposed to have been doing a course, but it was cancelled).
Aiden eventually figured out that it was fun to tear off small pieces of bread and throw it in the water for the ducks and swans to eat.
I showed him how to hand feed the big swans with a flat hand, but he still didn't like them much...and even less so when one of them stole his bread after sneaking in from behind.
Stupid Swan!!!!
But eventually the swan apologised and he was happy to feed the smaller birds.
Also the pond is full of fat eels (and on one occation I have seen turtles there). Some of them would surface to try and steal the bread from the ducks.

Yesterday we went to Emily's birthday party in Centennial park. We were there on time at 10.30 on a very cold morning (it had been 7 degrees overnight) but there was no-one else there...the host and the birthday child turned up two hours later (I cannot stand people who consistently have no respect for other people time).
We had brought Aiden tri-cycle that he got as a birthday present from his grandma last year.
We also spend some time exploring the forest next to the playground.
