KATOOMBA
As we are still in semi-lockdown and can't cross the borders, MUM and DAD decided to visit Katoomba and celebrate Christmas in August. I was so confused, as you can see in this picture, but I wasn't too upset 'cause we stayed at Lilianfels, which was very smart and I sampled my first Negroni. The rest of the afternoon I spent gazing out the window looking out for mountain devils in the Jamison Valley.
Imagine my surprise when we stopped at the local Lost Bear Gallery and the polar bear out the front had a mask on! I tried to hop on his back and get him to take me across to the Three Sisters, but he wasn't too keen on the idea as he couldn't see where he was going. It turns out he was only a sculpture. I tried to bring him back to the hotel but the concierge on reception put a stop to that. MUM had to pretend that I was just a stuffed toy and she had no idea how I had managed to plonk such a big bear in her handbag. I think we are now on the Lilianfels 'never to return list'.
