Just amazing.
There was a lovely craft shop in the gardens- the Adam Lindsay Gordon craft cottage. Adam Lindsay was a poet. He was sent out from the UK to make something of himself, he tried lots of things, including poetry, but sadly ended up getting a head injury and ending his life. His cottage was moved from his property to the Botanic Gardens.
This was in the craft cottage - it appealed ro me.
From there we went to the tram museum to get a stamp for the Adventure Passport, then off to the Info centre for the same.
Then we set off for Bendigo.
On the way we went thru Creswick, we were going to stop for lunch but also did an Adventure Lab which took us up and down the main street. There has been a music festival on since Thursday so there was all kinds of music being played/sung. We found a wonderful wool shop which had so many beautiful examples
Just one we were taken with.
One band playing we listened to for a while
Guy in the middle had a guitar, drums attached to his legs and other instruments, his singing was really good too.
Church in Creswixk was part of the Ad Lab
As was the designer of this pub sign. The Lindsay family uses to eat here and enjoyed amongst other things the "bawdy humour".
We are now in Bendigo tonight.
Tomorrow is explore Bendigo day.
Again no stitching.
Happy stitching.
Looks like another wonderful day!
