This weekend we booked our trip to Currawong. We used to go en masse - about 40 of us, annually, but this year, with the HSC and having booked a year in advance, I just forgot about it. So it was just us, and a couple of friends. Some friends came for lunch on the Saturday, but basically, instead of a hoard of children, it was all adult friends.
We played tennis and golf and lazed on the beach.
The kids had fun and most of all, it was very easy and relaxing.
I had been thinking whether we'd come to the end of the road with these places, now that the older kids would not want to come. However, the place is so beautiful and the forced relaxation because there's nothing to do (no tv, no work, no sights to see), it is quite cathartic these days.
You avoid the traffic 'getting out of Sydney' and after the boat ride, are only an hour from home, yet you feel a world away.
Sometimes you don't outgrow a place, the place evolves to your needs.
Have you changed your holidays as the kids grew up? Do you miss what you used to do?
