Moomba Waterfest

Every year over Labour Day weekend Melbourne hosts the Moomba Waterfest one of the top water ski competitions in the world. The event takes place on the mighty Yarra River which runs through downtown Melbourne. John was absolutely thrilled to see the top slalom skiers compete.

After the water ski competition we spent the afternoon at Fawkner Park, a family favourite, throwing boomerangs. Colin was the first one in the family to catch a returning boomerang, a fact that he reminds his dad of often. It was an ideal weather day with no wind and lots of sun.

Jared intently listening to instructions on how to throw a boomerang.
Jenny's favourite past time at the park is reading a book while John entertains the children.
