Christmas Day - 25th December

by Tony  

Today is Christmas, but of course even after a late night the kids were not too long out of bed. Santa managed to find the caravan, he is a very smart fellow, and leave numerous large gifts for the kids (I am sure I told Santa to only bring small gifts but guess he could not resist ).

Our Christmas day was to revolve around food (and a bit of drink). Started off with Champange for breakfast (for those who think this might be a silly idea, I recommend you try it!), with strawberries (healthy). Then croissants, with jam for breakfast.

Moving on to  Lunch, which consisted of everyones favourite food. Josie and I had BBQ Prawns, followed by Crayfish, fresh from our travels, and roast duck (yum), Kids had Garlic bread and Lasagane. Moving right along to desert, Jelly, Pavlova, cream and Fruit. I also got a special treat of Xmas pudding we had purchased at the Barossa.

As always a bit full after all that food!

Afternoon we spent watching the weather as we got a bad storm with damaging hail and flooding. The van next to us, had about 20 cm , 8inches of water through its anex, wetting much of what they had left in there. We just got some water around the van, nothing too much. But then the hail started with large marble sized hail stones. We did not suffer any damage from this though where a bit concerned about the roof vents as they took a pounding. Found out the next day a Carvan two away from us got hail damage on the roof and front panels, and there car, they had been out of the park when the storm hit, had significant damage. Our car seems ok, but hard to tell as it is so dirty as we are not allowed to clean it in a caravan park!
