I'm back from a glorious weekend at a York farm. We didn't see another car or human for 2 days, it was quiet and rejuvenating. Except for the lack of hot water in the shower, i could have spent a week in isolation. We had to tend to the farm animals, or what's left of the old emu and ostrich farm. Gathering hay each day, driving a dusty old ute on sandy trails and getting my adrenaline rush on a quad-bike. At nights, we treated our tastebuds to great home cooking. Our attempt at making sukiyaki was a success! And my first taste of Ossobuco was finger lickin' good.

Not a bad way to spend the Anzac Day long weekend. PHOTOS THIS WAY.
