Scrub Stitch'n and heading home

Sunday morning I went out to take photos of my two finished kaleidoscope blocks

Am very happy with them.
Sunday afternoon we followed Chooky to her house and had a photo outside the Chookshed!

Tourists!!

We went to help feed the cattle but Mr Chooky had finished when we got there.

It is just so dry here

A glimpse of the sunset

the front of Chookys house, bore water keeps the grass growing around the house, could not imagine how it would feel if all around the house was brown...we used to get that in Gisborne over the summer, everything dried/died off and it was so depressing.

Out the front gate we went for the trip back to Melbourne.

We had to stop on the way and get a photo pf this beautifully painted tank. I can't remember the name of the town it was in.  Update, Janice tells me the town name is Gulargambone, affectuonally known as "Gular", thank you Janice.

Lots of dry red soil.

Another small town with a beautiful old church.

I had to say goodbye to Raewyn at the airport
We are still working on our selfie skills, but we give each other a good laugh when we try!!
The total kms we did for this trip was 2268.3 according to my calculations, not bad for a couple of Kiwis exploring Aussie.
Happy travels.

Group photos pinched from Chookys blog

  4. What a great way to finish up your travels. Not bad mileage by any standard for a long weekend. The water tower is at Gulargambone, affectionately known as “Gular”. The artist did a great job.
