Well, it's finally about to happen, we are heading off soon to Europe again. Back in 2019 we booked a trip to Europe but due to two years of Covid lockdowns in greater Melbourne and a few family events, good and bad, we haven't managed to leave Australia since. What will we be doing and …
Even though winter is upon us taking a walk is always on our agenda. So when our Mornington Peninsula Australian Plants Society group organised a walk at Bunarong Park in Frankston we were interested to join in. The tricky bit is that there are not a lot of car parking spaces there so we made …
Ever since we had seen Attila Kapitany do a presentation about Australian desert plants for our Mornington Peninsula Australian Plants group a few years back we had wanted to visit the garden he and his wife Michele have created out at Narre Warren North. The only problem was they only open it up in April …
Karen and I do a lot of walking when we are away either in the caravan or overseas. We are also members of our local Mornington Peninsula Australian Plants Society group who regularly take walks in nearby areas. Recently we joined in to take a walk at Red Hill in the Endeavour Fern Gully. The …
Day 3 Lascelles to Avoca Awoke to a classic Autumn morning, cold with a clear blue sky. Once we had eaten breakfast we packed up the caravan and headed over to take one last look at the silo art in Lascelles. It was tricky to take a good photo because half the silo was basking …
Day 1, Dromana - Stawell Even though we have driven along the North East Silo Art Trail in our home state of Victoria we had never been along the original Silo Art Trail in the Wimmera region. Finally we decided we would do it as a 'shake down' trip before we headed off to Queensland …
Day 3 After a late Sunday breakfast we took another walk. Jay guided us through Crows Nest and Waverton to Waverton Park. We passed a fascinating succulent garden just before we came to the park. Then we followed this path down. At the bottom of the park we came to a good viewpoint across to …
Days 1 and 2 Between Easter and Karen’s birthday we took a quick trip up to Sydney. Back in January I’d secured flights with frequent flyer points during a sale. We flew up on the Friday afternoon. Our flight had been a morning one but of course QANTAS sent us a message the day before …
Queensland Footy Trip At the end of last year my best mate, Phil, and his wife, Dorothy, retired to the north of Brisbane from Melbourne. They kept asking us when we would come up and visit and see their new house which they had had built in the suburb of Newport. We suggested we would …
Euroa to Dromana It was another cold morning but nowhere near as cold as the morning before. We were soon on the road and heading down the Hume. At the Seymour sign we exited. We drove through the town and onto the road to Yea. This route allows us to go around the east side …
