Days away.

 I had a fantastic few days away. Did I behave...no I didn’t. Did I go overboard and binge...no I didn’t.  I weighed before we left, lost 400g so hoping for the rest of this week I can get myself back on track.

Managed a few small hikes while away and been keeping busy since being home. 

Went up to the city yesterday to see Skye in hospital after her back surgery. She had a bad scoliosis of the spine. She has been so brave and been coping quite well considering the pain she is in.  Hoping to have her home tomorrow if she can move past the pain and open her bowels. She was in tears yesterday trying, the poor love.  I will go up again tomorrow and visit if she doesn’t get the job done later this arvo/tonight.

Above are called wreath flowers. Only a few places where they grow. This patch they grow about 50 metres on both sides of road. In our 2500 kilometres of travelling we only found 2 other single wreaths.

                                Our rig all set up for the night. We are all self contained, have a portable fridge and freezer, cooktop, carry plenty of food. We camp like this all the time.        

                                                                                 

A creek bed that we tried our hand at prospecting in and around.....no luck though😏

A gravesite of some mining pioneers, poor fellas and so young too

A road not very often traveled...we saw the most gorgeous wildflowers down this track.

Found this gorgeous coloured trumpet type flower, one that we hadn’t seen before this season. They were everywhere, even close to home.

                                                    Can you see him? 

                                                     (It’s a racehorse goanna)

Another new one for us this year, never seen it before. Found 3 all in the same small area.

And below …… well that was the laugh of our trip 😆 😂 🤭
