Fathering...

Yesterday was Australian Fathers' Day, and I was spoiled with a 'big breakfast' and various presents (almost exclusively edible). We also went out for pizza on the Esplanade - it is slowly starting to warm up, but not to hot to be out and about yet.

Speaking of Fathering, Joshua and I went on a 'Fathering Adventure' a few weekends ago (see here for more). It was a good opportunity to have some good one-to-one quality time - something that has been pretty rare since Bethany was born.

We had some fairly serious physical activity (including about 7km of dual sea kayaking - fairly sore by the next day!) and a hike up to the 'forts' (during which we saw koalas in the wild for the first time - it is such a pity that you aren't allowed them as pets!)

We stayed on Magnetic Island (off the coast of Queensland, about 4 hours south of Cairns) which was a WWII outpost.

Here are a few photos:
