Last of the snow

Gregory sitting on his snowball - frozen from his thighs down!! It was a change of clothes before we headed home.


The snow melting makes for lots of water flowing down the mountains - making beautiful crystal clear water rushing along!!















We nearly missed this! Someone has gone to the trouble of turning this tree on the side of the road into a fairy house!











Today we went to the Bendigo Woollen Mill and bought some lucious wool to turn into scraves and shawls for next winter.

More Snow

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.

And some more....

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.
