Tobruck Sheep Station

An article in Sydney morning herald about the farm stay at this place was informative but did not give a hint of the wonderful show these guys also offer. Our camera battery ran down and hence posting no pictures of this outing:(

Some very interesting things we did at the show-

1) Enjoyed Damper with Billy tea on arrival- Both prepared the traditional way.
2) Learnt a lot about Sheep Shearing and Harshal got to try it too.
3) Had a fabulous vegetarian sit-down lunch
4) Tried our hand at Boomerang and whip cracking.

Needless to say Arya had fun with farm animals :)

Has wonderful bike trails and we made the most by riding along with Arya in the child seat behind. She had fun.

Bahai'i Temple

We visited the Bahai'i temple in Sydney and were given a wonderful introduction to the faith by a couple, who were volunteering at the temple over weekends. This was the first time in my life, I met somebody who was imprisoned at the age of 7 for just following their religion! Every time I encounter something or somebody like this, I cannot thank God enough for our good fortunes- and by that I mean, health and freedom to live!
We both have visited the Bahai'i temple in Delhi, India. Harshal has also visted the temple in Chicago. Note to self- Visit Bahai'i temple when in Chicago next!

Helensburg and Stanwell tops



Visted the beautiful Venkateshwara temple at Helensburg. Of course, a visit to this temple had an ulterior motive...eat the yummy South Indian dishes in the temple canteen. After a big lunch comprising of dosas and idlies, we headed off to Stanwell Tops for a view of the Grand Pacific Highway. Since it was too windy, we decided to return home as soon:)
