Winterfest 2007

Even though it was a full week ago now since we returned from our glorious Winterfest Weekend I thought it would never be too late to share the cheer and relive the coldness.

It must have been 4 degrees that weekend....I can't remember when I've ever been that cold before! Especially the first time we jumped out of the car on Friday night to get some food in Katoomba! Luckily the central heating and Mattwa's expert fire stoking kept us warm and happy. We crowned the winterfest queen in appropriate attire....... and ate a suitably scrumptious and filling meal to celebrate. Luckily Flitcroft is good at 500, as we now all know he can't play the name game to save himself...poor darling.

Thought you might also like to look at these shots....The Three Sisters - Cold cold cold!more Three Sisters and view beyondMount Solitary - we camped on top of this one many years ago for our Duke of Edinburgh awards.The beautiful Girls - one of the few shots that we don't look like we're in pain from how Cold it was....did I mention it was COLD?


On the Sunday, when most winterfesters went home, a small group of us headed back out to Scenic World and paid a ridiculous amount to queue up and get in a yellow box with a million other tourists and take a slow 20 minute journey across the mountains and back again...they did however open our eyes to the magic of the worlds first Electro-Sceni floor! This next photo shows our yellow box from Echo Point (The Three Sisters)

The view out the side of our yellow box, this is the great Katoomba waterfall. Did you know that Katoomba is Aboriginal for tumbling water? well you do now...and apparently this waterfall is where it gets it's name.And this is the magical Electro-Sceni floor in action!

And finally, the best part of the whole trip......(sound the trumpets).....I am now the owner of the most gorgeous butter dish anyone has ever seen....it makes me so much more fabulous than I already was!
