Cold and raining, why am I not surprised? Well I remember as a young child newly arrived in the city of Ballarat from England thinking ‘wasn’t Australia supposed to be hot?” Compared to our home town of Bonny Hills, near Port Macquarie, it is a trifle chilly, but what a lovely city it is, beautiful wide streets lined with mature trees showing lots of red and orange autumn colour, streets thickly carpeted with scrunchy fallen leaves, fabulous old buildings and such a history, plus having the honour of being the birthplace of democracy in Australia. We think it’s great and we have only just driven around it and taken a short walk we can’t wait to get out and explore.
We will have a few more days to take it all in than we had intended as we are waiting for a part for the Jeep to arrive for a repair which was missed previously but picked up on the last service. We still have two weeks to go before Ian heads back to Tassie for his check up and then we will be “having fun around Oz” in earnest.
