Well hello there, we just had a short trip away with our van club and was able to visit this crossing lady known as "Lollipop person" who helps everyone get across the road every morning and afternoon on school days
A close up of the man with my other sister Loo....
I managed to do a little more crochet too
Here are some of the vans in our group staying at the Inverloch foreshore van park
more info here
There is our Winjana at the front on the left and certainly does not look that big compared to the huge van up the back.....it was called GODFATHER and it was huge...
There was roughly 25 vans for this meet up and some still had not arrived in this picture
The beach was right opposite us and this was the closest I got to seeing the tide in....
Zooming out to where the ocean begins and waves
Can just see some of the waves way out there
The jetty of course
We had quite a few walks while staying here but the tide was always out....way out
On the Saturday we had a "tag a long tour" where you all get together sharing cars and follow each other
We got to have a lift with a lovely lady Yvonne and her friend Alan...
We stopped of to have a look at the wind turbines in this area
See there were plenty of cars following each other
The turbines were off and some men seem to be working on a couple
Yes, we got to go in a Jeep lol
We stopped of for a picnic lunch at a place called
Walkerville
Hello to the man
Everyone was pretty hungry so got stuck into our rolls, salads etc
The ages in this group range from late 50's - 90
Enjoyed the scenery while we ate
Zoomed in on what we thought was the lighthouse but it was not....just some tower
I could see a hole in the rock way out so zoomed in ....
Some people were on a yacht fishing
Nice grassy spot to rest
2 fishermen were in this boat
We headed on a walk up towards where they were putting their boats in to go fishing
Our 2 tag a long pals ☺
Pacific gull
Plenty of rock pools here
Spied in the distance an old brick kiln building
A lovely area for a walk as the sand was very firm
The old brick kiln building
We then headed off to check out the lighthouse
Beautiful ocean views from one of the platforms
The lighthouse in the distance
The group walking on over
No where near as tall as some we saw last year in our travels but still a lighthouse....
Zooming over to the other side of the sea
Ah yes a selfie of us in front of the lighthouse
The group again
On Sunday we got to meet up with these 2, my dear cuz and her bloke
My bro-inlaw
And that sister again with me and cuz xo hello loo and cuz
We had a great lunch then as this was the Wonthaggi coal mine we went on a tour, so had to gear up for the
mine
I think she may get annoyed with me for this close up lol
The man in his hat
Down in the mine the camera did not like all the flashes going off and other lights, but did my best
Quite creepy being so far underground....but worth it
We then got to ride a cable car back up to the top
Light in the distance
Getting closer to the top
About to get to the end of the track
Random snap back to show us all lined up and kids enjoying too
It was a great day with good weather too
Oh yes, was I happy to see this steam train.....
No longer goes anywhere but I was happy climbing on board
View back over the top from the drivers position....
Good day out we had
Back at the van site spied this tiny bunny enjoying the grass....
We had a great time with everyone and look forward to next trip....I did also get to call on my youngest boy who has not been very well and was great to see him again ☺☺
And now back home, SUCCESS.....look I have attracted a COCKATOO to my feeder....
Certainly looks pretty happy finding seed here to eat ☺☺
It even had a nice drink from my water dish setup.....am hoping word gets out and I have more stop for a visit....we have heaps flying over all the time but this is the first one to drop on in to say hello....
What is is it like in your back yard?
Hope you liked another short trip with us ☺☺
Take care xoxo
