Tiki tour day 9- 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.

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 Benalla.....🤪 🙄😬

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 Tullamarine and found another quilt shop just before she closed. More retail therapy happened there 🤭

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. 

Benella

We stopped here for lunch on the way home and by the information centre was this "sculptury" arrangement with places to sit, unusual shapes, beautiful sculptures etc. I was really taken with it

this makes me think of Friedensreich Hundertwasser the Austrian artist - he did amazing work - a very impressive one is in New Zealand in Kawakawa - the public toilets!!! You can see what he did here. But I met a lady when I was looking around and she was involved in the design here for 7 years, and she told me it was made in the Spanish style of Gaudi. 

Lovely nooks and crannies

Sorry about the toy voyager in the photo, but there were lots of sitting places like this all around the structure

Love the baby, sadly some idiot had graffitied the babies back

this made me smile

a great place to stand and look, the more you look the more you see, there were young children playing around here too, they loved it!

love this seat.
