These paintings were on a bus shelter in Smythsdale.....aren't they amazing???? There must be a very clever artist in the area.
This was the gate to a large property near Wycliffe.....Eve had a postcard of it so we did a 'youie' and back we went to have a look......was down a very red dirt road...we couldn't see anything from the road but I liked the gates. ....
next stop Dunkeld at the top end of the Grampians.....boy it was cold here....
We stayed I overnight at Mount Gambia and this morning had a look at the sink hole garden,
the limestone has worn away over the years and in the 1800's a garden was created down here...much cooler down below than up on top
off then to the info centre to find out what we should be looking at...this ship, was built by unemployed youth.....it is the same size as the one that came out from the UK...imagine travelling all that distance on such a small ship!!!!
next stop was the Blue Lake and as we got there as the sun came out, the lake really looked blue.....
Next stop was Penola...this is a beautiful old town with many limestone buildings,
and tiny houses built in the 1800's
this one is now a bric a brac shop
this one you can have as a holiday let....
this, would you believe is the bedroom for the mother and father and 14 children.......
and this was the original house, but once the children came along this became the kitchen and front room (lounge room)
and out the back is a huge vege and fruit garden and herb garden.....there are bags and scissors supplied so you can pick your own herbs...how good is that??
This evening we are in Kingston in the shade of the big lobster!!!! I can show you that tomorrow!! I was going to do some stitching but think I might read and the go to bed, I hope for a good nights sleep.
Happy travels.
