On the Saturday...

This post is all about last Saturday...the day of DsD1 and Dan's engagement party. 
After breakfast we drove out to the property. Before we left town we saw the sign for the golf club. DH loves his golf, so we took a little detour to have a look.
Hmmm. It looked a bit quiet for a Saturday morning.

And the only group out on the course were these 'fellows'...

Yep! It looks like the kangaroos have full run of the golf club/course. 
And then it was time to head out to the farm; 60km with the last 10 km on dirt road.
The front gate to the property...
It's still a long drive to the buildings on the property...
The cattle found us to be interesting! 
I could just imagine this one saying, 'Password!'
This one didn't like the look of us and took off! Lol
The road into the property is a little rough in places, deeply rutted, steep and winding, but eventually we reached the buildings...
The main house with its beautiful garden...
Some of the outbuildings...


Dan and DsD1's little house...
Some of the lovely view from their house...
After lunch, friends and family worked to get things ready for the party...

Dan used farm equipment to manouvre the giant 'ice bucket' bathtub into place.


And in the mid ground of this next photo, helpers are filling the tub with ice.
And DsD1 set up her Lolly Bar.
Later on in the day there would be lots of children enjoying this feature; lots of 'sugar highs' 😆
Next post will feature photos of our tour around parts of the farm and also photos of the party. Just seems too much for one post.

wow what a party! All those white tables and chairs on the lawn remind me of a scene from a movie. Love the idea of the lolly bar for the children. I look forward to seeing party pics. xox

Beautiful setting for what looks to be a lovely party. I like the lolly bar.

God bless.
