Autumn Skies

The warm, windy and humid weather in the area round Bermagui made for some interesting skies during our stay.

Wallaga Lake

We had been recommended to Wallaga Lake near Bermagui by friends Lex and Rosemary so we set up camp on the waters edge for a few days.

We used the camp as a base for touring the local area.

Leitchville Icons

In the past it had been Kervin favourites to visit Kow Swamp and Mount Hope so we went to take another look.  Kow Swmp was usually visited after milking on hot summer evenings.  It was hot when we visited so we set up for a few photos.

The sunset did not disappoint.

  We also went to see Mount Hope and Suicide Rock where so many family picnics had been held in the past.

Visiting the Past

We decided that it would be interesting to look around Cohuna to see if there had been changes over the years.  We set up in the Caravan Park which has certainly been upgraded since our last visit there.

We set up close to the water in the aptly named "Nomad Row".

Around the park there is a lot of water even though the surrounding country is in drought.

Ashy Reunion

Last Sunday in February is the day the crew from the Ashburton "Youth Group" meet up again each year.  The older members are pushing 80 so "youth" is a bit of a misnomer.  However it is always great to catch up with old friends.

Cooper Starts Training

Cooper has joined the Mitcham Tigers and his training started today. He looks the part in his training top.

A Restaurant Discovery

We met up with Ian and Wendy who were down from Queensland.  Looking for an appropriate half way house we came up with the Dumpling Kitchen in Blackburn South.  Suffice to say we will be going back there.  It was a great meal.

Claire's Birthday

Graeme and Rhondda arrived for the start of a busy few weeks with social events and camping.  It all kicked of with a celebration of Claire's birthday at Bucatinis.

Finals Evaporate for Celtics

James and his team went down fighting today.  The opposition had not been beaten all season and it soon became apparent why. They were good.

Our boys pushed hard but many of those 50% chances did not come off.  James worked hard but there were a number of skillful talls opposite and James often found himself up against Andre The Giant who had clearly kept up his practice.

It has been an exciting season with one game to go before the finals and then it all starts again.

Captain Ebony

We were excited to hear late last year that Ebony had been elected School Captain for this year.  How could the blog be complete without a photo of Ebony and her Badge of Office?
