The Party Continues

After our day on Sydney Harbour yesterday we headed off into the outback for some four wheel driving. The Thuglets decided that running along side the 4 Wheel drive would be more fun while we all watched on. There's Mango, Herc, Putter, Molly and Gertrude inside the car while on top there is Toffy, JB our new cat matie, Kershey and Kaci, Clover, Rocky, Casper, Nikki, Buddy, Mocco and Simba.


Those crazy Thuglets even brought along their balls....lol.
Eventually we arrived at Ayres Rock. It was an exhausting climb to the top and very dangerous in parts but most of us managed it without falling off.
Girl Girl was a bit worried about climbing to the top as it is rather huge. Lorenza got stuck halfway up and needed help. Pacco has so much energy she ran up and down quite a few times while we all watched in amazement. The rest of us were all done just trying to get to the top. Good on those that made it.



On the way back to NSW we decided to make a quick detour to The Great Barrier Reef in Queensland. Willow thought it would be fun to give some of our maties a scuba diving lesson. I didn't even realise she was a qualified instructor. Taffy took to it very well. We were worried that he would chew through his equipment but no it was all ok. There is Lacie underneath him.


Ruby is there with Koobuss underneath her. Asta is over on the right hand side and Babystan watching out for her just above. Lola and Willow are in the centre. Lola is listening carefully as Willow bubbles out instructions. It's a bit hard to understand her under the water. There's Sparky on the upper right and Katie on the bottom right.
The sights and colours under the sea are just gorgeous.

Some of the wheelies took a trip out to Jim Jim Falls. This attraction is probably a lesser known sight here in Oz but very beautiful. All the wheelies had to put their wheels into four wheel drive mode as it was a bit on the rough side and muddy in parts. Myrna got stuck at one point and Gilbert and Seymour had to haul her out. How embarrassing....


On the way back to the Bed & Breakfast we stopped at Leura Cascades. This is only around the corner from home so some of the gang went back as they were too exhausted after partying for 2 days.
Here we have Crikit, Spartacus (Sparky), Jake and JH looking up. Then there is Katie having a roach on the rocks, Eric and Asta looking down. Teka is trying to dig into the rocks...maybe looking for gold and Sam and Zorra doing a dive off the rocks.
On the bottom row is Sparky and our new airegal friend George. Also there's Ellie and I having a private moment.
Mango, Gussie and Willow the black dale are right on the bottom of the photo.


We had a blast at the party. Willow & Putter want to thank everyone for coming all the way down to Australia. Ruby did a great job on the invite and Asta and Koobuss were wonderful photographers and went to so much trouble for us, thank you both. Finally we want to thank Maggie and Mitch for their help too.

Hugs and tail wags

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Oh My...I think I might just be too tired to leave...perhaps, Willow, I might stay on for a few days to recooperate???

I hope your peeps got all the fuses replaced...these industrial strength blenders use up a few more kilowatts than usual....the candlelight was bootiful in the new kennel ur Dad built...it was such a shame that Gaia accidentally knocked it over and we had that small fire....I loved watchin' the Wheelies help the firemen with the hoses...it seemed an awful lot of water for one kennel...um...the flood was fun too!!! Thank heavens we got those life preservers on Girl Girl and all those drunke...er tipsy Roos....

I think I better go now...Lucy and I are going to work on some lessons...she's teachin' me some Attitude Adjustment strategies....like how to get males to change their attitudes....

Gotta run...
