WE WERE AWAY FOR A WEEK.


Middle of this month we went away north toward Sydney for my young brother, hence why I've been so quiet.  Just some paperwork to sign, catch up with carers and his yearly review.







On our way early one morning, the stopping for a tea break at Bairnsdale near the river.


Next stop was luchtime at Cann River where there is a beautiful sculpture of Lyrebird.
Across the rod we have a lovely old timber church.
Finally arriving in Eden at the caravan park, where this local lot call home too.  Biggest problem here is looking out for all the kangaroo poo.😊
After spending a few days doing all we had too, seeing brother, then two of my cousins the next day & visiting both sons on the next two days, there wasn't much time for photo stops.  The above is a gorgeous view from Jamberoo Lookout near Kiama.  You can see so much bushland, farming country & the sea.
Heading towards home on the Monday, a comfort stop was needed in Ulladulla, where I snapped the harbour.
Further down the coast towards Batemans Bay, we always look out for this derelict old barn.
An afternoon break was wanting, so a quick cuppa was had at the Tuross Heads turnoff, where I took the above photo.  Below we have a row of Illawarra Flame trees, which are in flower August/Sepember.

Nearer to home lunch was needed and while at Lakes Entrance I too some time to snap the black swans.

Then we had a little walk along the foreshore, then back to the car where there were many Corellas on the grass.  Someone disturbed them and they flew into the trees.  Looked quite spectacular if you click to enlarge the photo.

Short and sweet for today, so I'll  end it here so I don't overwhelm you with photos                                   We've been uber busy since we got home, but I'll try and settle down a bit and catch up with some posts of what else we've been up to.

Thanks to all my lovely blog pals for my cards and birthday wishes too.  What would I do without you all.

Take care all and big hugs from Susan.

  1. That caravan park would be my first choice with all those kangaroos around. You certainly had some lovely sights and scenery on your travels and stopped off at some pretty places, even if it was just for a comfort break.

    1. Thanks Jo & must admit we do like this particular park, as it is handy for our first night on the coast road to Sydney.

  4. I love the names of your towns and villages. How's the weather lately. Is it spring there yet?

    1. Thanks Cherie, but I think a lot of name places are quirky here and in other countries too. Weather still playing dreary, overcast, windy & just damp. Not much heavy rain, just nuisance type, but that doesn't help keep fire season away & we are predicted to have a very warm summer with bushfires. Ugh!
