Travelog for: Hasune

Hi Mum,

Today we drove across the other side of the city - we tried to get some photos as we went by but it wasn't a good day for photos.

this is in the tunnel that goes under the Yarra River - the photos of me in the car didn't come out!! Maybe we can try again another day!

Love and hugs

Hi Mum,

We had a home day today -

this is where I am staying Mum

this is part of the yard

here I am having a chat with Tupai the chow chow - he was looking out for rabbits (his name means happy - it is a Maori word)

here I am down the back near the dam - there has been a lot of rain this spring so everything is still very green, this is unusual for this time of the year, usually by now the grass is brown and dried off.

Love and hugs

Hi Mum,

Today we went to the park to take the chow chow for a walk, it was a hot day but we were ok. 

we started here by the old courthouse - it was built in 1851 which is pretty old for buildings here - not in Europe though!!

this is the old jail out the back of the courthouse

this sculpture is by the footie oval - it was carved by a woman with a chain saw out of an old tree - it is two footie players and a bulldog. The local footie (Australian rules) team is called the Bulldogs.

we stopped at the creek so the chow chow could have a drink and a swim - not a bad idea - I was a little tempted! 

now we are heading off into the old park amongst the oak trees

we had a little rest while we waited for the chow to catch up to us - he has to sniff everything!!

Love and hugs

Hi Mum,


Today we had a walk to Edwards Point, this is our first view of Swan Bay

this sign tells us about the plants and animals

this is Sue's favourite tree, it has grown around in a circle!

here we are nearing the salt marsh

now we are heading out towards the beach

a few minutes quiet reflection

walking back we found a tree root that looked like an elephant, so we pretended to have a ride!!

in the afternoon we sat in the sun on the back verandah! 

Love and hugs

Hi Mum,

Today we went for a walk in the opposite direction to yesterday and headed for the St Leonard's Pier.

We had a good view from here

here we are looking out to the pier - lovely day here today Mum

in the afternoon we helped Sue with her travelling notebooks

Hi Mum,

Today we headed off in the Edwards Point direction again, we found a bench to have a sit on

we had a look at some native grasses, while keeping a look out for snakes...you can't be too careful..

we came out to the beach at the big seat

we had a good view from here.


Love and hugs

Hi Mum,

Today we drove over to Queenscliffe to have a look around.

We saw the ferry going out the heads and setting off for Tasmania.

here we are looking over the surf beach - not a lot of surf today because the tide was out! 

here is one of the lighthouses at Queenscliffe

we had a look at the old fort next



then we headed to the beach and the pier


here we are on the pier looking back to where the fort is on the headland

now I am at the end of the pier looking back to the town

Love and hugs
