We had few very busy days there and returned home convinced, that music is much more valuable than gold. Still, when the musical emotions mellowed, we felt some longing for Ballarat and its gold plated climate.
This time we decided to have some exciting company - our 4 grandchildren.
Few days accommodation for 6 people. Not so simple.
Luckily our son did some preliminary search aon Airbnb and here we were, in a backyard of a seasoned gold digger...
Then we looked the other way... no, it was a backyard of enchanted house.
Each fireplace guarded by mice
Old record player and a selections of proper music: Beatles, Elvis and Co.
Amby testing phone, Felix setting an old clock.
Girls testing their bed
Note: next to the bed there were some carefully selected books, such as - How to kill your husband (and other handy household hints) - MORE.
Below - bedroom for boys.
Bedroom for grandparents
Boxes of fancy dresses
Strategically placed carafes with port, sherry...
But next day the magic was put to the background, time for GOLD.
We were not discouraged by a poor weather and a muddy road
Actually mud and muddy waters were our element. This and other parts of our story are here:
Still Gracie managed to colour a candle...
... and Matilda to get arrested.
Luckily smaller kids were taken in custody by responsible people.
