Colac

These dry stone walls are amazing, no mortar is used. They are built from rocks carted from the farms and were built by the milk hands between the daily milking.

Anzac Day

The 'bus conductor' came around and gave us all either a half penny or a penny. A penny for Penny!

Anzac Day

Penny and I met some old diggers

Melbourne

We met up with Penny and Kingsley (friends from Mandurah) in Melbourne for the Anzac weekend.

Liam does a Rex Hunt with the salmon we caught - yummy

Wild Koalas near Cape Otway

Koalas in the wild - cute little things with fuzzy ears

The Mums

Alison and Carmel - ready for a long walk

The boys from Margaret River make lunch - cup of soup

The sheer cliffs and the water was amazing

THe Great Ocean Road

The Twelve Apostles

The Great Ocean Road

Loch Ard Gorge - the only two survivors of a ship wreck, many years ago came ashore here, they were very lucky as the rest of the coast is really rugged.

The Great Ocean Road

The London Bridge on the road

A beautiful hole in the rock with a pool in front and the ocean behind

Fish for tea, yeh but not for us.

Port Fairy

The river in the foreground and the ocean in the background, a very pretty place.

Portland - a big fishing place, here they are cleaning the tuna catch and feeding the scraps to a seal

Self explanatory

Cape Bridgewater

Looking out over the ocean , with a wind farm to the left.

Trev slacking on the job- looking for birds!

Portland

The machine they use to load the igots

Portland

The ingots ready from the Portland smelter to be shipped or transported by road

Back in SA

Pine forrests in different stages of cutting and growing etc

Woakwine Cutting

This cutting 1km long and just over 28 metres deep through a limestone hill allowed the farmer to turn a boggy marsh into fertile soil. The farmer and his workman took nearly three years to achieve this. The machinery they used is in the previous photos

Port MacDonnell

In the photo on the left, the moon coming up behind the clouds and to the left of the moon is the light from the lighthouse reflecting on the clouds (in that same photo), or at least thats what we think it is?

Over easter it was so confusing - one day we would visit Victoria and the next we would be back in South Aust - Trev is just trying to lose me I know!

Nelson

The bar was silted up and so the river was deep- the fish cleaning table was out of water but the jetty wasn't

No prizes for guessing where we are now

Princess Margaret Caves near Nelson - they were very narrow but quite high. The owner of the farm used the cave as a dump hole for rubbish for many years!

Me at the river - yeh

The Glenelg River at Nelson on the coast south east of Mt Gambier

They truly are very beautiful, with the volcanic soil here they can grow anything

Another sink hole garden in the main street

Jen's Hotel in Mt Gambier - Bec and Greg tell your Mum looks like a goer for a family business

Mt Gambier

These sinkholes are all over Mt Gambier, and some have the most amazing gardens growing. You can walk right down the bottom of them, they would make a great wedding venue.

Mt Gambier

The blue lake at Mt Gambier, it changes colour from this blue to a grey later in April due to the rain.

A beautiful sunset taken from the beach opposite the caravan park at Kingston, we haven't seen the sunset over the water for a while. I haven't seen the sun rise over the water at all - far too early!
