Tiki tour day 8- final day

Today we started out in Albury, visited a quilt shop

Some retail therapy was done there, was an amazing shop

Then we walked along the street

And found a shop with Angel wings in the window, I will fix the photos at home 😆

We then walked to Lincraft and had a look there.

Into the car and headed for 

Ned Kelly country,  we got a stamp at the Information centre

From there we headed for Benella, but I somehow managed to put the wrong info in the google maps and we were.driving down country dirt roads

And we ended up in Lurg!!!

There is NOTHING at Lurge!! How we ended up coming here I have no idea! Luckily we were not too far from Benella.....🤪 🙄😬

Another stamp at the info centre, we were told about a church at Goorambat in amongst the painted silos, it was only 15 mins away so off we went and it was so worth it.

This is at the far end of the church and so beautiful.

Outside the church.

From there.we.were going to head to Euroa but the Info centre was closed so we headed straight for Craigeburn north of Tulllamarine and found another quilt shop just before she closed. More retail therapy happened there 🤭

oops.will fix this one at home too

On the way to the airport we saw the sun going down

We made it to the hotel and are checked in, Raewyn is packing her bags before we head downstairs for dinner

Tomorrow I drive off home.

Happy stitching.

Today we travelled on the freeway and dirt roads, had a little extra Tiki tour 😁

Fitsr stop Boorowa to do an Ad Lab along the main street

War memorial

Second hand book shop and sometimes wine bar!

One of the original shops

Old theatre and hall

We found a quilt in the window

Inside one of the pubs

old town hall

On the road now to Jugiong to do another Ad Lab

This town was rife with bush rangers and this statue remembers a policeman killed in the line of duty.

The pub

View from the lookout

Onwards now to Gundagai to the dog on the tucker box to do another AdLab

We then headed into Gundagai to get an Aussie passport stamp and to have lunch

One happy traveller, will fix at home

We then headed for the Ettamougah Pub - for guess what? Yes another Ad Lab 👏 😆

Tonight we are on Albury and it must be bell ringing night, the church bells have been pealing for a while now. Have been for a walk

Time to rest the tired feet!

Happy stitching.

Tiki tour day 6

We have spent the day at Cowra today, I spent quite a lot of time in the Westpac trying to sort a problem with our bank cards, two visits later all was well. So we headed for the Info centre

Oops first visit the quilt shop!

Statue on the main street

Now the rose garden.

We followed am Ad Lab that took us to the old watch tower where the POW camp used to be

We then went to find the painted water towers

We went to the Japanese Gardens and rang the peace bell after

We had some company who only wanted bread and would not eat his greens!! 

We walked around the gardens, fed the fish and ducks

We spied a 🦎 on a big rock

Checked out the bonsai house

We had a look in the cultural centre, lots of beautiful ceramics and kimono

Went to the Japanese war cemetery 

The found the peace bell and rang it! Hope the peace vibes came your way! We are resting and having a cuppa now.heading further south tomorrow.

Happy stitching.
