This chronicles some of the the McCrea family goings-on in 2017 - at least those activities when a camera was handy... |
Camping We had a couple of family camping trips during the year. The first was a week in February at Arakoon National Park. First time we have been able to go there outside school holidays. The boys joined us for part of the time. The second was several days in April at Cundle Flat Farm in the upper reaches of the Manning River near Gloucester, with the Haythornthwaite and Pigott families. |

The boys had a couple of camping trips away
with a few of their mates - the desperate seven - with
Finn H, Bowen M, Tom K, Luca C, and Tom P - at Bowen's
farm near Running Stream, and also at Khancoban.

Sport The boys continued to be active in sport during the year. Matt played in West Harbour Rugby First Colts. It wasn't the best of seasons, but the camaraderie was terrific. Philip ran the line for most of the games. Michael moved from Leichhardt Rowing club to UTS Haberfield Club, which is a more competitive club. He heads off to training at 5.00am on his bicycle. He is in the extended NSW lightweight eight squad. |

Philip supported the Wests Juniors Girls
Sevens squad during the year, refereeing in the Saturday
evening tournaments. It was a great year for the girls, who fielded teams in the U12, U16 and U16 age groups, and participated in tournaments on the Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour and at Bowral. |

Sport brings old friends together, and it
was great to catch up with Barney at the Gold Coast when
the U16 girls played there - thanks Barney for organsing
canopy, table esky etc. Likewise it was great to see old friend Jack when at the U15s State Championships at Coffs Harbour. |
