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.

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.

Hi, it is Andrea prattling!!!!

The Rhodens and the Cowlings have gone on to South Australia, Keith and I are staying on in Melbourne till after the Melbourne Royal. I am competing just the one day Sat. the 20th.
We will move on to South Australia the following day most likely. I have sent entries in for 3 trials 11th, 18th and the 19th of October. We will then be on our way home to Perth via Esperance.
W A did extremley well at Croyden, it was a great trial 5 rings going at the same time well spread out but minus the mud and the huge volume of people and dogs we had at the Nats.

I went down to training last night, it was great, Geraldine looked after me.

Special Hugs
Andrea

Our last morning on the beach at Rosebud, leaving for Lilydale caravan park which is 10 mins from Croyden trial.

Lapping it up at the mineral pools in Rosebud, the water was just divine, hot and steamy.

Keith enjoying the hot water, the pools differed in temperature. The one at the top of the hill was too hot, came out like a savaloy

SThe Pig and Whistle pub at the top of Arthurs Seatat the Summit.I took some photos from up at the Summit, but because there was a huge fire burning near by they came out very murky.

Looking back over one of the many beautifil Bays here at Mornington.

Kay and Keith, (twins) taken at one of the many restaurants at Mornington. Mornington reminds me of Freo. I think Kay is the cutest!!!!!!

The girls and I out walking early Wednesday morning on the Beach where we are staying.

These are really cute, old boat houses very much loved and looked after by their owners.

Keith and I arrived here at Rosebud Tuesday, a lovely unspoiled town right on the coast.We have the best spot to stay, just a stones throw from the Beach. While here we intend to do heaps of sightseeing in the beautiful part of the world. We are also catching up with Keiths twin Sister Kay.
