Back Home - Fathers Day in Tumbarumba

Tumbarumba is a town on the southern slopes of the Snowy Mountains. My great great great grandmother was a well known Tumbarumba identity - Granny Broadhurst. She is well known because she was the Tumbarumba midwife and her house is on the historic places walk.
On father's day Mum and I decided to surprise Dad with breakfast at one of his favourite cafe's - The Four Bears Cafe in Tumbarumba - I think it's a funny name because my forbears come from Tumbarumba.
On the way we phoned Pa and made arrangements to pick him up. Pa lives on a big farm near Adelong.
With Pa we drove to Tumbarumba on the back road through Yaven Creek.
We had breakfast - Dad had crumbed steak eggs benedict - I think Tumbarumba is the only place in the world were you can get that many calories for breakfast!

Then we went out to the cemetery and looked at Granny Broadhursts grave.

Then we drove to Uncle Kent and Aunty Tina's place in Tumut to deliver their gifts from Europe and have afternoon tea.

Their gifts included this Craybob hat from Finland. Uncle Kent was happy because he goes to an annual motorcycle hat rally and he thinks this hat will be an absolute winner in 2012. Good luck Uncle Kent:)
