Janine under the Margaret River bridge as you come into the town. Janine, Jane, Nola and I are down here for the Margaret River Ladies Classic.




Bit cool outside but we were snug and warm sitting around the fire chatting after dinner.

Michelle kindly lent her car to  Pete and I today. We visited some of my old schools and houses that I had lived in. Above is St Cecelia's, my primary school.


The nun's convent next to the primary school.


The back of the convent, the old stairs I used to walk up to my piano lessons.


What was once our little shop in Butterfield Street, Herston. Now a trendy coffee shop which sadly was shut.



Our shop in Kennedy Tce Red Hill, is now a hair salon.


Walter Taylor  Bridge in Indooroopilly....  I travelled over this bridge on the train to school.


Graceville Avenue, Graceville....the last house that we lived in before coming to Perth.


Another place we used to visit a lot when we were children was Nudgee Beach...in Moreton Bay Marine Park.



Soldier crabs...


Had a lovely walk...



Also walked through the Boondall Wetlands.

Banana tree overhanging in Michelle and Kevin's driveway...
