Hi lovelies,
Another 2 day catch up – so sorry. I was so busy doing my art journal that the time
got away from me. Life is truly hard.
Yesterday we went for a drive to see The Australian Standing
Stones. It was really quite an impressive
set up.
This weekend in Glen Innis is
the “Fans of Outlander” gathering. As
they were setting up for the weekends festivities it was a little hard to get a
photo without a tent in it.
We then went for a wander up the hill behind the stones to a
lookout. I do find it amazing that you
can always find something that will set one town apart from another at these
lookouts.
We then took short
drive to Red Ridge. We had no idea what
we would find, but did not expect to find some magnificent turkeys.
Home for lunch and a short nap. Then while Robbie did some computer stuff I spent
the afternoon working on my journal and having a cuppa. It was so nice to get back to it, and a
little challenge to use only the supplies I brought with me.
Today we packed up again and readied to move onto the next
port of call. As it was only 100km away
we made a side venture into Guyra. This
is a lovely little town and we enjoyed a short walk up through the centre to
see what shops were on offer.
The find of the day was a building were a lovely lady was
downsizing and selling off some of her book collection. We had a wonderful time discussing different
authors and books we have read. She has
set up in an old building and is re-reading the books before she puts them out
for sale. I managed to get the last 6
books in the Sue Grafton Alphabet series that I had not purchased yet, and so
now our book cupboard has overflowed into a second cupboard. I had best start reading so I can donate some
back as we travel. It will not however
be any of the Sue Grafton books.
We then stopped for morning tea along a creek bed at the back
of town. It runs along the golf course,
which is very green and lush. Such a
calm and tranquil spot. I could have put
a blanket out under the tree and had a nap. Sigh.
Back on the road and into Armidale where we found the info centre
and the headed to our van park for the next few days. We are camped this time at the Showground
Caravan Park. There are not designated
spots, just areas so it kind of looks like and abandoned lot with vans parked
in all directions.
After lunch, some washing and the required nap we went set
off to follow the self guided drive tour.
The drive takes you around lots of the older houses and buildings in town,
and also through the Uni grounds.
The grounds
of the uni are lovely, I think I will never get tired of seeing tree lined streets.
We were directed to a deer reserve, but only
managed to see kangaroos and rabbits.
Lots of rabbits.
Robbie and I were both saying today that is seems
unbelievable that we are headed off on this adventure. We are having the most fabulous time seeing different
regions and learning more about our amazing country.
All for tonight lovelies.
Keep enjoying life.
Rob and Lizzy
Flower of the day for those playing.
