Farm Stay!

This is the farm stay at Amy's place at Leogatha; a 2 hr bus ride away from Melbourne city. It's in the countryside with sooo many hills and contours around and animals! hahaz saw mainly sheep, cows, horses and we saw small kangaroos too while on the drive to her house. They're so cute but disappeared real fast. A 3 day 2 night stay, relaxing and definitely away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Time seemed to pass much slower. Having meals together with the family at the table, playing board games, watching movies, reading magazines, going for walks with the dogs, shopping around in the town and of coz going around the dairy farm!
