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
So good to see that everyone had a great time. Let's pray for rain for Chooky.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY EASTER.
Looks like you all had a good time. Your finished blocks are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThat's some impressive mileage you clocked up with Raewyn... You got to see lots of interesting places and things...
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteLoved coming along for the drive. You sure did a lot of kms! So nice to see your photos....so very dry indeed...here's hoping some rain comes soon xx
ReplyDeleteYou have had such a wondetful journey. Love your blocks and you are tempting me to order them myself altbough I do get quite frustrated with fussy cutting and that keeps me restrained lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trip you both had.
ReplyDeleteGood to see Chooky sharing a big smile.
Must have been sad to say goodbye to Raewyn.
But only until next time.....
That water tower is great .. So many kms but so much fun.....so sad it all had to end . . Your blocks look great.....
ReplyDeleteGreat post with lots of details and photos Sue - well done on such a good 'summary' of our travels - I've squeezed all my doings into posts that have missed half the photos! Wasn't it such a great trip - see you next year!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this post! Your blocks are beautiful...you were very dedicated during the retreat! Road trips can be so fun can't they. I'm enjoying them so much more now the backseat is empty of kids! It's lovelyyou had that time with Raewin xx
