Paky Birthday Your Majesty!!

This weekend in Pakenham we had
a long weekend thankyou to Her Majesty.
Rumour has it that her birthday is actually
at a different time of year but I was
greatful to live in a country that will take
any excuse for a holiday and not bother
too much about the details. Top job Australia!

We chose to celebrate this glorious occasion with an adventurous walk along the Bass Coast.

Taking a trail that stretches along the coast from San Remo to Kilcunda - Jon, Jemma, Benny, Danielle and I set off - our mission being 'not to sit around doing nothing all day'. Aim low.

Along the way...

The weather was ideal for adventure. Sunny,

with patches of torrential rain.



We were conditioned to liking the rain as

we treated ourselves to rations of Doritos with

each stop.



oops

A turning point.

A secluded beach, not accessible by road.

This was the furthest point we got to before turning around to make it back before dark.

My favourite Thai expression...
"Same same, But different!"

A Queen's Birthday Unwasted

A nice mosey home.






It was quite refreshing to see such lush green grass

- something that has not been around for such a long

time and something, in fact, that I never had any

appreciation for until now.

And then driving home... into the sunset.
