Rutherglen, Vict. 2nd June 2010

Heading out of Corryong this morning we encountered some very thick fog for several kilometres. It cleared into a beautiful sunny mornings drive and the scenery is easy on the eye. We are staying in the caravan park here in a cabin overlooking the lake. Graham has gone off the visit one of the relatives while I do some updating.

Corryong 1st June 2010

After leaving at around 9.15am we headed for Cooma. The information centre there advised the best way to Corryong was through the Snowy Mountains. The larger towns we went through were Jindabyne, came to Kosciuszko National Park permit booth & much to our surprise we had to pay $16 for a day pass to stop & have lunch in Thredbo, it was worth it just to see the village. After lot's of up hill & down dale the next town was Khancoban, beautiful rolling green hills & contrast's of colour over the landscape, very pretty before arriving at Corryong where we are staying tonight. Very, very cold.

This picture is overlooking Jindabyne.

Canberra 31st May 2010

Lorna & I waiting for a cab before heading into the City with Graham. Just a little bit of shopping before meeting Kate for lunch. Then headed off to pick up the hire car (all 3 of us walked past the office, several blocks before Graham left Lorna & I on bus seat to go back & find it! Then the challenge of finding our way out of the city back to Holder, took the long way, not deliberately! As it is Kate's actual birthday today some friend's came over for nibbles & drinks so as Kate said 'these 3 day birthday's are good'.

Canberra 30th May 2010

No venturing out today, the weather is miserable, raining, freezing & windy. We spent the day in doors, watched Angels & Demons, very good movie. Graham amused himself reading, no movies for him!

Canberra 28/29th May, 2010

Arrived in Canberra at 11.30am, picked up by the lovely bubbly Kate. David was home, technically working! we had a nice casual lunch and looked over the gardens before Kate arrived home from work. We all relaxed with a few drinks & much chatter. Today it is a miserable, rainy cold day. We are about to head off to a shopping centre looking for shoes for Graham (you all know how much he loves shops!) Not too much pain finding a suitable pair of shoes!!

This is David & Kate's house in Holder, in the southern suburbs. The end of the autumn leaves is still a beautiful sight.
