Memories....

We stayed in a variety of places.... one was a delightful Airbnb.  The room was at the back of an old cottage.... they still had the outdoor cooking area which was just lovely to see....

The comfortable room with a very cold shower room was at the back of this cottage (not their fault is was a freezing night) 

We passed via Bowral on our way and stopped for a much longer than planned time at the Bradman Museum.  This is the oval where the museum is based.  It is still used.

Both Hubz and I (he more than me) do enjoy the cricket and there was so much information in there... really a good visit and a lovely café for some refreshments....

Here is the sculpture of "The Don".... (Bowral is where he came from)

Down Kangaroo Valley and over Hampden Bridge (heritage listed) ...

… and then we went back to the coast to Narooma for a few nights.  Lots of lovely walks and drives....

 This is a seal which was happily floating and playing in the Bay one evening....

… and a ray which came right close to the jetty (actually saw quite a few)

We stayed right next to a golf course and so had some lovely walks.... we were standing at the tee and the shot was over the sea to the other side....  so beautiful...

We went to a really lovely historic town where they have kept most of the houses in the street as authentic as possible... I am silly but I didn't take pictures - except of our tea and scones which was served in lovely china crockery.....  The little villages Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba (very close by each other)  If you are interested just google it and there are lots of pictures....

Then down to Melbourne..... this time I was simply too busy playing with a couple of gorgeous little lads to take pictures...

We went to the Antarctic display - and spent a happy couple of hours playing there...

We also went and braved the freezing cold and wet to watch the Little Penguins come in..... It was a very choppy high tide and only a few came in and we all got very wet and cold..... 

Not the most successful evening but a lovely spot none-the-less.  

But those Little Penguins are just darling..... and we saw some on the walk back.... they had come out to wait for their partners coming in and were calling away.....

Sometimes the penguins need a bit of help keeping warm (hurt, injured etc) so I have started knitting a penguin jacket...

I managed to get some pure wool so I am using that.  The actual penguins need pure wool but acrylic ones are also welcome and get sold on little toys ones to raise money for them.  Information about the Knits for Nature project is HERE....

Righto, Gotto Go... better get back to that penguin jumper knitting!
