Bushwalking around Theodore

At one stage, Terence was walking up and down and around the hills around Theodore, and several times Kayleigh went with him. The most memorable (at least for Terence) was attempting to walk to Mt Rob Roy from our house (it's one  of the big ones behind Banks). Terence unfortunately wasn't feeling the best, so really should have not gone. They set off, Kayleigh all excited as it was one of the first times she went with her Dad. They made it from our house, and probably 1/2 way up My Rob Roy, when I got a phone call. Terence was rather ill, and there was no way to get to them. Kayleigh pushed her dad to keep going, telling him it was OK and that he only had to go a little bit longer and they'd be back to civilisation. She kept him going for the 30 minutes it took to walk back. Terence said he was so relieved to see the power lines near the back of Theodore but was so proud of Kayleigh for keeping his spirits going.

Another time, we went up the hills directly behind Theodore. Terence, being Terence, decided we were all going up the steep side, not around the back were the hill wasn't so steep. This was a test for Terence's anxiety and at some stages Kayleigh practically dragged him up the hill, when she wasn't helping Kiara up. about half way up, Terence turned around and said that his anxiety was getting too much and Kayleigh told him that the top was only up there and he could do it. Then right up at the top (like a metre from it) Terence did the same. Kayleigh laughed her head off. 'Dad, you ARE at the top.' she said. She though it was really funny. We probably didn't climb the hills as much as she wanted. She loved the views from the top of the hills, you can see a long way.
