More touristy stuff
On Friday, Granny, Daniel and I went to the Bendigo Pottery. I found some gorgeous pottery I would like. I fell in love with the big mixing bowls - would be perfect for breakmaking.
On Saturday, we decided to take the Talking Tram around Bendigo. It is a great tourist idea. You sit on the tram and listen to a guy tell you all about Bendigo and its history.
The boys look like they got a bit close to the front of the tram!
The front entrance to the first Myer store in Australia.
Then we tootled off to the Chinese Museum. This is the longest Chinese Dragon in the world - over 100 metres long! It goes right around the museum more than once. It is the second one from the left. The others are smaller ones also used in the annual Easter Parade.
Then we walked over a beautiful marble bridge to the Chinese temple and gardens. So peaceful and tranquil.

Straight from the camera
The Sacred Heart Cathedral in the centre of the city of Bendigo. Spectacular on the outside and inside! As we walked in the magnificent wooden front doors the enormous pipe organ started playing and continued to play as we walked around the inside. Awesome place even for the non-religious.

I've scrapped!
This first layout I'm sharing is my first attempt at journalling over the entire page except where the photos are. I was going well until I couldn't fit the word Naracoorte in down on the bottom!! Doh!!
The second one is of the boys playing on a log while we were out looking for water at Bool Lagoon. We lived at Naracoorte for 4 and a half years and there was no water in the main part of it the whole time. It is a world famous wetlands but I fear it will never be one again. I wonder where all the migratory birds who used to travel there are going now?
The third one is of my crafty friends, Sandie and Susy and I when we had our very own stall at the markets at the Naracoorte Art Gallery. We had a lovely display of goodies but not enough customers! We all agreed that even though we didn't make a lot of money we had a fun time just hanging out with each other.
Miss those girls so much!!

OK now I'm off to check out some other blogs and see what's happening on facebook.
