Back in Melbourne


I have come to visit Maggie at Queens! She is happy to see me and welcomes me to her new room.

The new corridor to her place... A bit brickie.
But she has made her room very comfortable and homely. Of course, Lillypad has taken pride of place. Maggie, Lillypad and I shared this little bed.
Maggie's wall is covered with photos of family and friends...

... including our trip to the UK and Rome...
And of course, her Dad and Mum.



We took a stroll through the gardens.

And checked out "The Master's" house.

And a wonderful Morton Bay Fig.
I went to University and attended a couple of lectures... Biopsych and Developmental Psych. Loved every minute of it. Fancy myself as a student here.

Our Last Days In Tasmania

With a little sadness in our hearts, we head back towards Stanley...


Incredible weather awaits us and we decide to climb the Nut together... it is tough work.
... The view, however is well worth it. We can see the Vannie, having a rest at the caravan park below.
And the sea is so very calm. And blue.
Checking out to see whether there are any fishing boats coming in, laden with our dinner.
Very happy us.
The next morning we head to the very west of Tasmania
And find the "Edge of the World" at Arthur River.




The Edge of the World...

We head back to Stanley, suitably amazed. Now for a hit of golf!
Nice motion shot here, demonstrating Steve's golf technique. Something for Nikki to learn.
If I can get of my ar**!!
Another heavenly shot...
Actually, my ball ends up closer to the hole!

Liffey Falls

We did a day trip to Liffey Falls ... just beautiful!

Spotted Trout in the river.
No idea how they survived this fall.
Beautiful and unreal toadstools.


And then, back at Mole Creek, the most wonderful rainbow.

Tree Art at Legerwood, Tasmania

We visited this fascinating little town with Lisa and Ian... the trees were in danger of being completely removed. They had been planted in honour of soldiers lost in the war. The townsfolk found a way to retain the trees and turn them into something spectacular!

Golfing At Barnbougle

Ian and Lisa... Ready to take on Barnbougle.

Sticky knows how to attack the links course.
And take a stroll along the beach front.
We are very happy to be visiting Barnbougle again.
Lisa was not phased by the course one bit...
Sticky has spotted some fish running along the shore.
And Lisa wants to investigate too.
This little fellow is more interested in the golfing antics.
Back to concentrating on the job in hand.

Lisa holed this monster putt. Right in front of the clubhouse and all the spectators. No pressure here!
And Stick doesn't mind showing off either.
My turn.
Ian, not to be outdone, has a shot on a par 3. This is the closest shot to a hole in one I have ever seen. Fair Dinkum!
Gotta work on that swing!
