This is the old pub 'The Victoria Hotel' where we had that very cheap lunch , do you remember???

Now Tracey W THIS IS THE PARK WHERE YOU TOOK THOSE ,LOVELY PHOTOS OF STORM.

Keith and I did the Safari at Monarto Zoo today. here we have African Dogs, a little like German Shepherds around head, with great big ears.

Lions of course, they came right up to the bus, very graceful and impressive.

Not terribly clear as the photos were taken through the bus window.

You need to make the picture bigger, talk about cute.

Last day at port Fairy and arrive in Mount Gambier

A photo of the original caves house built by James Umpherston, sadly demolished in the early 1900s.

Look at the back drop, just amazing, can't really show it off.

Keith sitting down among the peaceful sunken gardens. We even came upon Possums which we were able to feed raw apple out of our hands.

Mount Gambier, just look at this !!! We visited these magical sunken gardens originally beautified in 1886 by James Umpherston and today is one of Mount Gambiers most popular tourist attractions.

Another view of the Port Fairy caravan park.

Port Fairy a beautiful caravan park, dog's are welcomed with open arms, heaps of space.

Our last morning at Port Fairy, Keith on his new fold up bike.

This is right on the road so to speak, love it!!!!!!

Rows and rows of tiny old homes.

And another little gem.

Another gem.

Pricless don't you think!!!!

The township of Port Fairy dates back to 1825, I have taken just a few of the gorgeous old buildings. Hope you don't get too bored.

This is the most pretty spot, the water a beautiful aqua colour.

Out on the beach this morning Port Fairy

Keith and I arrived in Port Fairy yesterday, gorgeous little place. Been out all day sightseeing, it is been very interesting.

The county side inland from Apollo Bay, lovely farms, lot's of dairy farming.

Otway Fly Tree Top Walk, this was amazing the view from the 25 metre tree top walk was well worth the scary walk.

Looking back down at Apollo Bay.

Once settled in at the caravan park here at Apollo Bay, we have gone for a drive up in the hills. The paddocks are awash wth canola oil flowers, very pretty.

We left Lilydale on the 20th, headed for Apolo Bay. Here we are on our last walk along Pine Road

Keith and David with you know who, something starting with S, went for a fast and furious ride in David's pride and joy Austin Healey.

One of the many wineries De Bortoli we visited and had yummy samples in the Yarra Valley.

David, Yvonne and I at Mount Evelyn, we only biked 20 ks for a cup of coffee this day.

Yep they both want one!!!!!

Karen, Keiths Niece and her friend Chris spent a few hours with us at the Royal Show.

Here we are at the Melbourne Royal, we are having a good time, just dosen't look like we are.

One of the jumping courses at the Royal, the tunnels proved to be very challenging.

One of the Agility courses at the Royal, more challenging tunnels!!!!

Spice does well at Melbourne Royal.

Smudge does well at Croydon Trial.

David and Yvonnes beautiful home among the pine trees. Keith and I are staying in our mouse house out the front of the peaceful gardens.

The leafy lane way Smudge, Spice and I walk each morning.

Another photo of the lane way outside David and Yvonnes home.

Out walking around Lilydale Lake this afternoon.

Yvonne, David and I out walking around Lilyday Lake this afternoon.

The view of the city from the terrace at the MCG.

Looking up at the huge seating at the MCG

Outside the Coaches Box at the MCG.

Look at this, isn't it amazing the MCG. we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the museum is just fabulous.

My coach Keith at the park giving me a few tips!!!!!! He has his new top on you gave him Tracey.

I know we have slowed down with the blog, but Julie is in SA so not here to help and I have been slack.

Keith and I are staying at very dear friends of our's Yvonne and David Thompson in Mooroolbark about 40 ks from Melbourne. It is a beautiful property with lovely English trees and sloping lawns.

As you walk up the road it is very like an English laneway.

Smudge Spice and I go for long walks each morning up and down the sloping lane ways.

We are of course doing touristy stuff, David is the best tour guide you could ever wish for.

I had the weekend off from trialing, Brian and Mel did well at the SA trial on Sunday, Mel winning two 1sts EJ and NA, Brian and Evie 2nd in NA.

Enclosed a few photos taken the past few days.
