Pappy, NZ is a separate country. Though we have a lot of NZ landers here looking for more job opportunities. Back onto the thread. I used to take my grandkids to the local golf driving range - they loved that. Did all the local scenic attractions - the porpoise pool, the local swimming pool, the goldmine and so on. It didn't really matter to them what it was, as long as it was something different each day. The beach one day, a different beach the next to do a spot of fishing, even though we didn't catch anything.

I love watching Lidia, the Italian cook, with her grandkids on PBS. It's really sweet.

GDAD, would so love to see Sydney and all of your wonderful continent !! .. in my dreams I guess.
My son is the the only family member to visit Australia, and that was mainly to pass through the airport for a connection to the states from Indonesia. He said Australia is the land of GIANTS, right? He is 6'4" and felt like a midget amongst your fellow countrymen.
This may wet your appetite to come out here!

Another idea is look into volunteer opportunities in you area. Many of them allow children to help if you contact them ahead. My grand kids help with delivering meals, a local soup kitchen and volunteering at a local store that raises money to help abuse and neglected children in our area. Last Christmas they helped give Christmas gifts, with our local Santa Claus, to children dressed up as elfs. They loved it.
