Phillip Island

 While the Inchleys were in town, the Russells set up a mini holiday at Phillip Island.  Our first stop was at Coldemede Farm for lunch where the plastic cow made Claire look like she was 3 years old back on the farm.

Our visit to Churchill Island put us in contact with my favourite breed, the Scottish Highland cattle although we did not see any black cattle in Scotland.
We did discover a number of excellent restaurants at Cowes.  The Italian Pasta was excellent (as were the cocktails).
No visit to the Island is complete without a visit to The Nobbies.
One of the vineyards puts on a particularly good Lamb Shank lunch. It was just as well we booked in.
The Swan Lake reserve was new to us.  Although water levels were low, there was an abundance of bird life and wallabies.
There was also an abundance of Senior Grey Hairs making their way along the tracks.
The Island has a wonderful coastline that can be seen from many locations, this view was at Grossard Point.
Our final night was spent at Russell Manor around the fire and with a game of cards (the Reids dominated!)
