Woodford 2009
We went to Woodford! .. nearly four months ago.
To make up for last year, which was insanely wet, it was insanely hot this year! I think I prefer it hot though. In fact it was so hot it made our tent shrink and melted Meg’s Tevas. So maybe I prefer rain?
Anyway, we had a good time as always and slobbed around for a week which would so suit me right now. We flew up which was actually really good, we didn’t have to leave on Xmas night and driver for 16 hours. Although to be fair we mooched of our friends who had driven up and took gear for us – thanks guys!
We avoided the other bad part of flying, getting back to Brisbane by bus, because a lovely random lady with a new born baby stopped on the road and gave us a lift to Caboolture – she even repacked half her boot to fit us in 🙂
Didn’t take many photos, but I did get one of Meg playing “Test Match” (remember that!) against the Woodford XI, who later went on to beat The Herd on the village green.
Despite, or perhaps because of, it being insanely hot, we had a couple of serious thunderstorms – late afternoon or early evening. In particular the night of the fire ceremony was really stormy, but just over the ridge, so we didn’t get wet, just saw stacks of lightening – so it was the fire & lightening ceremony this year.
