From Mann to Manning

Hi lovelies,

Well it is a few days since we shared our adventures.

For the last 3 days we sat around the caravan at Mann River as it was raining.

We did manage to go for a trip back to Cangai Bridge for a swim and lunch.

Saw some of the local wildlife there,

and some art work by visitors.

We watched some beautiful birds who decided to eat some of the seed we put out for them.

We went for another swim, still in the Mann River, but down from the park.

I sorted my stash box I brought to use in my journal.

Rob did some fishing.

Pretty chilled all in all.

Today we left Mann River and headed south for the Manning River. We are staying in Harrington. A lovely coastal town.

The Caravan Park is fabulous.

Just a short drive to the beach, which of course we did today.

A drive up to Pilot Lookout. Beautiful scenery again.

and interestingly there was a small cemetery there also.

Found some interesting characters.

A walk along the breakwater.

Saw some greedy pelicans and seagulls chasing after fishing scraps.

A trip out to Crowdy Bay

and up to to the lighthouse.

It was then a quick trip to Taree grab some staples, and then back to the van for dinner.

All short and sweet today.

Have a lovely day and keep enjoying life.

Love us.

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday. We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am. It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo. We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks. Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars. Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath. If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout. It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line. It is a fairly visually unimpressive place for such an important part

Dylusions Dy-Cuts Art Journal

Hi Lovelies, This week's edition of Art Journal is very special, stunning and unique! We can't get enough of all the textures and colours going on in this page! We just love this. This wonderful page features the Dylusions 'Dy-Cuts' which are quirky and colorful pre-cut shapes which make the perfect addition to any art journal page! You probably can already guess what paints we have used this week... The stunning, vibrant colours which are leaping of this page, are of course, Dylusions paints! When you take a closer look at you can see the texture and elements which have been layered to create this stunning page. A script stamp is perfect for layering and can fill in any gaps where you think something might be missing but not quite sure what! Helen has scattered some of the new Dina Wakley 'Collage Words' across the two pages. These are great as you can add a sentiment to your page whilst still allowing the colours from the background to
