Fire Sun

The past couple of weeks in Victoria have been devastating as the worst bushfires in our state's history swept through some of our country towns. Here in Melbourne we experienced fallout in the form of smoke and ash filled skies for several days. The haze and heat of the sun was extraordinary. Black Saturday will live with us always................

At the Night Market

A warm, sunny evening at the Queen Victoria market. The smells of wonderful foods, all sorts of stalls, music, bumping into friends and even ....going for a ride on a camel!!!! What more could you want from a summer's evening in Melbourne?!

Backyard Christmas

Well, Christmas is a very busy time of the year with too much food, too much drink and generally too much of everything! BUT...it is lovely to catch up with family and have them enjoy the time with you. We set up the backyard and both families lazed away the afternoon...it is hard work but watching the smiles and laughs and the enjoyment of the kids it was very well worth it. Merry Christmas until next time................xxxx

Phillip Island Adventures

Wow....a week away at Phillip Island, and it went SO fast!!! We had a wonderful time, the boys discovering and me, rediscovering the beauty of this small island. Only 26kms by 9 kms, it is packed with incredible scenery, all manner of wildlife, rugged beaches and a heap of stuff for the kids to do. We saw the Penguin Parade, The Nobbies, Koala Centre, Pelicans at San Remo, and went to Rhyll for fishing. We learnt about chicory kilns explored many beaches and walked around Churchill Island. Holidays....especially beach ones for me......are restorative and good for the soul....enjoy just a snapshot of a lovely week away.
