28th October 2009

Off to Hollybank Forest to fly through the treetops! Their motto is "Why walk when you can fly". We made a booking for 1.30pm.

With time to fill in we went to have a look at Lilydale. In the Lilydale cemetery we found the graves of 6 relo's, so I took pics for my family tree book. We then found the library, ut oh, what a laugh, we didn't know the library was only open to the public Thursday & Friday nights and on Saturdays, and we walked right in on a school class. They were very forgiving and very helpful and allowed us to use the library, they photocopied some information for me, including a picture of my ancestor Peter Chadwick Chick who was the original ANZAC wounded at Galipoli and saved by Simpson & his donkey.

Back to Hollybank......WOW, this is an absolute MUST DO. You are harnessed and attached to a flying fox and sent "flying" through the treetops, there are no camera's allowed so I don't have any pictures, but I do have a "signed" certificate to prove I did it! Check it out

Back to Patsy and Blair's for dinner and an evening of great company. I was so tired I almost fell asleep on the couch.
