i love a sunburnt country

i guess everyone thinks the country in which they are born is pretty darned unique and beautiful.

weekends away like these make me feel quietly proud i know exactly how this sun feels, exactly how this bush smells and exactly how beautiful it is to swim in these rivers.

(p.s. what these photos don't show is exactly how uncomfortable it is when someone forgets the pillows.....as a result kee popped a rib and had to go straight to the osteo when we got home!!!)

goin' to the river

well festival is over.....and spring is on it's way. this is an old photo from my old blog and this is when i used to live 5 minutes away from the beach in perth. life is definitely different in melbourne when it gets hot - you have to jump in the car/tram/train to get to a beach!

we are lucky enough to have 4 days off in a row (i have 5) and we've decided to pack up the car and head north to Big River.

so today i'm attempting to do a few things around the house (nothing better than coming home to a relatively clean house) and starting a mouse pile of a few things we'll take with us. hoping to spot some wildflowers. again - different to western australian country, victorian country does not have anywhere near as many wildflowers.

so to all melbournites - enjoy your tuesday public holiday!
