Walking Trails with the Family

What a let down last night for Channel 9, the first interview with Todd and Brant, the miners trapped for 14 days almost 1km underground. I was looking forward to hearing the details of their amazing story and instead after 2 hours I was left confused, as some of the details did not compute, and aggravated with the amount of ads they crammed in. Tracy seemed to be focusing on Todd and not encouraging Brant to answer more... especially when asked if they thought the mine was at fault. Not great viewing, it could have been done so much better, but I take my hat off to the boys for surviving that ordeal. Something that I got out of the interview is Todd's previous selfishness by choosing to go hunting rather than have a family day. Since the "great escape" he has changed his priorities and the loved ones come first. It's sad that most of us don't fully appreciate what we have until it's gone or there is a scare. For us having come from a 3rd world country we always remember the hard times but also catch ourselves every now and again taking things for granted... suppose we are only human.

Well it's another fabulous week and the weather is overcast with a forecast of rain on the way... always happens when I wash the cars, but I'm not complaining, we need the rain. Yesterday, Sunday we decided to do a bit of trekking in the Ferguson Valley. This area is undulating, very scenic and only about 40kms inland from Bunbury. So lunch was a couple of great pizzas and off we drove and found the Ferguson Forest trails. Now if you like walking amongst huge Jarrah trees and lush vegetation these trails are excellent for day trails. The bird life was amazing which pleased the kids to no end as they spotted Blue Finches to Red tailed Black Cockatoos to Kookaburras and more. It was a very special family day, not another person around, walking through thick Australian bush, expecting to see a snake at any time, getting lost and listening to the birds. It doesn't get better than this!!
