my week...

took a little trip along the coast from Inverloch back to Phillip Island

climbed over the rocks and rockpools near Inverloch

took loads of photos on the beach and from the cliffs

we live in a beautiful part of the world, so lucky!

went to the Grand Prix track and looked thru the Motor History Museum,

went thru the gardens which overlook the track and look back towards

Cape Woolami...there was some testing going on, formula 3s (I think)

did lots of walking on the beaches,

this one is Cowes

watched lots and lots of these guys!

hand feed the magpies at the motel where we were staying,

friendly little guys!

ate out...a lot!

yummo

watched beautiful sunsets each night

and watched the almost full moon rise, spectacular!!!!

Back home now for Easter,

and next week reality hits as we head back to work....

but I have another 4 days to enjoy before then!
