Obsessed with the moon....

Loved the moon over the water tonight, seen from the deck of our cabin :) 

Honeymoon: Day 13

Today we actually left the cabin before lunchtime. We even set the alarm (shock, horror). We mainly wanted to see Tarra Bulga National Park before our honeymoon ended, but ended up looking at everything along the way, too. The best way to do things:) 

And here's a gratuitous shot of the moon over the water, last night from our deck :) 

A wind farm on the way, but you couldn't go right up to the base of the turbines, like the ones in Perth.

And here's a photo of my hunny at Tarra Falls, just cos he's gorgeous ;)

And just us and some scenery as well. The sign is the same one I have a photo of at home somewhere, with my mum and dad and us kids in front of it, like, 20 years ago ;)

There'd been a lot of wind and the bark normally comes off these trees in great strips anyway, and now it was all over the road as well. It looked good and then Theo had fun.

More bark antics.

And there is actually a lyrebird at the end of this track (blob in middle :)). We saw a couple, and even a male one doing his little dance while he was singing, but it wasn't easy to photograph lol.

A steaming vegetation patch and a steaming sign. Don't know.

Suspension bridge :)

(n.b. the people at the caravan park where we ate lunch were really friendly and so was their cockatoo)

Next was Port Albert, with nice fish and chips by the pier.

And this strange beautiful house?? at Welshpool :) I just wanted to go in the thing ;) Excuse the wheely bin lol

And here's Agnes Falls

And then we went home :) 

Honeymoon: Day 12

Day 12 sees us as cold and windy as the rest of this week :) Sounds like the roof is coming off at night, apparently it's gusting over 100kph :)

I have been wanting to try this cafe in Fish Creek ever since we first went past it. The food was nice, the waitress was very excited that we were on our honeymoon and even the people from another table came up to congratulate us and tell us that they had been married 38 years and that it was a good thing lol. 

 

 Another very interesting place was this home-run gemstone museum. It was one of those strange treasures you find in some out of the way place that you never see anything like again. The man who had collected all the gemstones and fossils was dead now and his son (Terry) showed us around. The dogs were friendly and the chickens loud. I tell you, it was one of the highlights of the trip:)

We then drove and walked up a mountain that I thought the car was going to slide back down again, and the rain started coming over the hills so we ran back down to the car. Went home via Foster and an interesting dirt road & here we are back home in our little cabin again :). Don't ya love it :)

p.s. Day 14, went to the Orange Roughy at Fish Creek again, the owner? Anne has got to be one of the friendliest people I ever met and has made us promise to go back there in 2 years with a newborn LOL. We were greeted at the door because she remembered us as the honeymooners, and were waved goodbye enthusiastically :) How nice :)

Honeymoon: Day 10

Today we go for a walk to a local beach which is sort of part of the Prom. It is so cold and windy today! It is not really far and I am not afraid of snakes today but at this point in the holiday I am crook with a suspected ear infection and something else (no, I am NOT pregnant ;)) and I need a walking stick to stop falling over LOLOL. 

Honeymoon: Day 8

Today we go to visit Millars Landing, where we find the southern-most mangroves in the world. I've always found mangroves almost as creepy as they are fascinating. At least I know these mangroves don't have crocodiles:). 

There were little crabs everywhere, funny to watch them run in their little holes everywhere when they saw us coming. Even though some of them were too big for their holes and their butts were left sticking out LOL :) 

It was low tide and we could walk out to this little island. Theo's holding some little sea (urchin?) thingies that were in the mangroves along the water's edge everywhere.

We saw this wallaby on the way there and back, and once we realised it was eating some kind of fungi, Theo attempted to feed it a mushroom. (Sorry about the camera lens deciding to fog over about now :)).

As you can see, it wasn't really impressed. 

And here we are, the happy couple :)

Honeymoon: Day 7

Yes, this is pretty much as productive as today got :) 

Honeymoon: Day 5

At the Prom again today. Nice 'short' walk to Lilly Pilly Gully. Pretty and rainforest-y, with a creek at the end. Tiger snake on the path near my foot freaks me out at the start (it even hissed at me) and I continue the rest of the walk with a big stick. I like the grass trees everywhere. 

The mountain there is actually the one we climbed yesterday ;). 

Honeymoon: Day 4

First day at Wilsons Prom today. First is Squeaky Beach, where the view from the rocks is nice but I have issues getting up and down ;) 

Next is Mt Oberon. I don't know why it was so hard (4km I think), there were old people and schoolchildren up there too. I was such a wussy ;). Apparently you can get this amazing view, but we only had clouds when we got to the top :). It was pretty cool though. And Theo talks to these generator thingamy workers while I sit and recover at the bottom of the stairs lol.

Honeymoon: Day 1

Mostly travelled today. And admired our lovely honeymoon suite again (big brekkie and late checkout included LOL :))



And here's the spa in our cabin, including the view. We love it here :)
