Tom Groggin is a working farm on the Murray River in the Australian Alps about an hours drive from Threadbo. John and Scott wanted to do some mountain cycling so booked the farm stay for Easter Weekend and along with respective young families invited Jeff, Jill and Gaye and myself along for the experience. My time on the bike has been a bit down lately so I decided to take the touring bike and encouraged Vic top bring her mountain bike so we could do some trails together.
Some of the highlights of the long weekend included;
Mia getting bitten by a horse when feeding it a carrot,
Maddie wanting to take her new cubby/clubhouse home with her.
A great easter egg hunt.
