It was time to shut down the work computers, say goodbye to the work colleagues and friends because the end-of-year holidays were upon us. It was time for me to travel to Ashby in New South Wales, to my childhood home, for the last time. That's right, our family farm called "Wgandi" was no longer home after 30.5 years.

It was a special moment with the whole family gathered for the last Christmas. We said our goodbyes and took one last look at the farm, reminiscing about all the good times, the sad times, and the moments that made this place our childhood home.
During the holiday, we embarked on beach tours, explored rainforests, indulged in cheese and wine dinners, and rode the restored 1943 Land Rover. We hopped on the backs of tractors, with a cart in tow wherever we went, and had joyful encounters with kangaroos and birds. Picking fresh fruits added to the blissful experience. It wasn't just a holiday; it felt like paradise.
But if you think that was the end of my holiday, think again. I was already setting off for my next adventure, determined to make the most of the end of 2017.
Hello, North Stradbroke Island. I was taken to one of my favorite beaches in Queensland, Cylinders Beach, where a family has been camping for 19 years during every New Year's holiday. And between you and me, they couldn't have picked a better location.
Now, I could provide you with a day-by-day account of our activities, but I'll opt for a brief summary. Writing about how we lounged on the beach, swam in the ocean, repeated the process, and swam again would leave you wondering about the action and the thrilling things we usually do on holidays. Well, this particular vacation was different, but rest assured, I still had my fair share of silliness. I had a mishap while sliding down the dunes on a board I found, and let's just say the following night wasn't very restful. Being knocked unconscious is definitely not a fun experience.
We also mixed up the days with walks to get fish and chips, exploring all the beaches on the island, indulging in prawns, and taking leisurely strolls along the cliffs. The views were breathtaking. To top it off, we enjoyed pizza and wine on the beach on New Year's Eve. It was a dream-like holiday that I will cherish forever. However, dreams sometimes remain as dreams and fade away with time.
