Left the city this morning and caught the train to Altona....we all had dinner out tonight at Fresh Chillies.

 

Melbourne Town Hall....beautiful flower beds...

My birthday present from Chris and Michelle...tickets to the Picasso exhibition at the NGV.

We loved it!

Dinner at Chin Chin...aren't these bottles pretty. We sat up at the counter and watched the guys make the cocktails....great food and good fun.

It was AWESOME!

The set....

Good morning Melbourne...

I love these three statues in the city centre of Melbourne.

We are staying in the city for our first two nights....but met up with Chris and Michelle after they had finished work. We had dinner at this lovely old hotel in Fitzroy, the Marquis of Lorne...the food was wonderful.

 

Pete and I enjoyed a lovely lunch with Margaret today at the Woodbridge Hotel in Guildford.

Such a beautiful old Pub.

 

Stunning waves today, reminded me of Queensland beaches

The storms had brought in so much litter...this is some of what we picked up.

There was a deep trough before a sandbar which had a rip  that we floated along in...glorious swim.

Colouring in the sunshine.

Once it had warmed up Will and Ethan made this Spidey car.

 

Will and Ethan have come for an overnight stay...I thought Ethan was quite clever to use this circle stencil.

Will liked the stickers...

One of their favourite activities is playing with little branches that Pete chops out of our bushes.

Busy making their cubby under the trampoline.

Very proud of their cubby

Toasting marshmallows

Story time by the fire

Although they are in a queen size bed they fell asleep like this... such sweet boys.

 

The winds and rain are taking their toll on our golf course. We started playing in the rain but luckily it eased after a few holes. Difficult conditions to play in though...have never seen the course so wet!

Always love to see a rainbow...Anne and Angie on the 11th green.

Tree branches everywhere except the fairways which our green keepers had already cleared.
