September 17: Manly Picnic & Lantern Parade























Spring-time in Sydney seems to be one long arts festival!  Manly arts festival runs from the end of August to mid September and finishes with a big family picnic and lantern parade.  As we are still the new kids and didn't know the drill and hadn't pre-built our lantern! There were plenty of materials available to build your own but instead Daisy rolled her sleeves up and got stuck in with helping out decorating the main parade lantern - a giant dragon/bird thingy.  Along with the lanterns there was plenty of music, food and face painting.  The day finished with everyone parading their lanterns along the beach.  We think Daisy enjoyed herself!
