Tiki tour last day

Today Raewyn and I left Nathalia and headed for Rochester, we passed farms of all different types,  sheep, cows, rocky and flat paddocks 
then we came to Rochester 
the platypus, this Silo was stunning and so life like
painted by the same painter of yesterdays Silo 
then around the other side a sugar glider and kingfisher
these are a real tourist attraction
thus amazing old pub was in the main street of Rochester, there was even a small Dvate painting in the children's playground, I didn't get a photo sadly.
interesting clouds as we were driving along
The last Silo was in Colbinabbin
the sun was out and seemed to be right where you wanted to take a photo
this Silo area had lots of information boards about the town history, the fund-raising for the Silo painting and how it all happened, it was interesting to read.

and so our Silo tour came to an end.
We headed back to Melbourne and found  Raewyns hotel at the airport and as it was mid afternoon and I had tested positive to covid I headed home.
Now I am in isolation at home until I test negative. Such is life!
While I was away 5 penpal letters arrived so I have plenty to keep me busy replying to them Also want to thank those people.who have commented on my blog lately , for some reason comments are not coming to my emails, so I can't answer individuals, I will try and figure out what has happened.
Happy stitching

  8. The silos are amazing! So sorry to hear about covid. Some strange things have been happening with my blog lately too. Today I received an email saying a post from 2016 was removed because it violated some content rules. I resubmitted it and it was reinstated. No idea why it was removed. Another strange thing is that some old comments are being marked as spam and I had to approve them again to get them posted.
