Nice enough to eat.

There were some nice clouds in the sky.













There was just enough room for us on theSackville Ferry.

"Nicky' the kangaroo thought no-one could see him lying in the grass.

We also saw a wombat.

Across the road from Tizzana Winery.

Ebeneezer Church

Wasp nest on grave.

Ebeneezer Church is Australia’s oldest church, est. 1809.

A $2 cup of coffee at the school house. The fancy little white trampoline was a nice touch.

Storm a brew'n.
