So we all have them. With family or friends. So what are yours??
And keep em clean please.

My young family love doing pancakes or something along those lines every Sunday morning.
It's amazing how many different styles or pancakes there are and toppings. My fav so far is maple syrup and crispy bacon..
Sweet and salty. Nice.

Also my mate's and the family try and meet up around Victor harbour area for the October long weekend. Have missed a few due to New borns but it's great to kick back and go wine and food tasting..

Got many! Some ranging from my background and others just ... became traditions over time.
Most notable ones I can think of instantly are ... Mum's every sunday without fail, can't beat mums sunday lunch!!! Annual gold coast trip around feb-march, haven't missed this for 10 years. Annual great ocean road drive with as many family members as we can gather. Generally around 4-5 vehicles, with picnic, lunch etc along the way... This one goes back as far as 1995, never missed a single one.

Eggs on toast every Sunday morning along with sliced tomato cooked in the frypan and some freshly squeezed OJ or Apple, Pear and strawberrys from the juicer. Used to be pancakes but my kids prefer this believe it or not...

Really. Probably a better option though. Lol

I forgot 1, in-laws sometimes for dinner but every Wednesday we visit. I make 2-3 but still good to talk bloke stuff and tinker with Rc gear.

We have our kids and grandkids around every Sunday night for dinner.

My favourite tradition is canoeing on the Murray and backwaters with a group of mates every January long weekend, have been doing it for about 25 years.
Cant think of a better way to spend Australia day.

We have been getting a house full of relatives for Christmas - new year for the last decade. They set up their caravan or camper. The kids take off into the paddocks and we don't see them until meal time, or when we take them to the beach.

It's easy to prove. Lock your wife and your dog in the boot of your car for an hur, and when you come back, I bet the dog is happier to see you!

Don't knock it until you've tried it... I love Vegemite on pancakes, poached egg and peanut butter on a crumpet is better though!

Don't mind a Crown larger but that's in a bottle so no good for camp
