Time to head home.

Janet & sister Sally in Mt Eliza
Had a lovely 3 days with Sally and Mike in Mt Eliza, which included lots of games of cards as well as an excellent lunch in The Grand Hotel in Mornington.  Quite cool in Melbourne, and it rained a bit which was good, but it was time to head north after a very enjoyable time with them both.  Due to the fires to the east, we drove via the (somewhat boring) Hume Highway to our
With Jos & Tony and family in Yak
friends Jos and Tony in Yackandandah, just in from Albury.  Normally I would drive through the beautiful Snowy Mountains to get to Yack, but the fires have made this impossible at the moment.  As always, great to catch up with Jos and Tony and kids and grandkids.  We had a lunch in Albury where Tony had a doctor's appointment, but the rest of the time was spent at the farm, either playing cards or drinking red wine !!   Very pleasant couple of days.

Sightseeing in Tasmania

Evie & Olie inspecting Troopie !
We left Benn & Sarah & the girls in Hobart on the 14th January after a wonderful month with them.  Lots of fun exploring the area, getting to know the girls, reading lots of stories and having lots of adventures, and also learning a lot about Benn & Sarah's Fox Friday brewery, which I am most impressed with.  Impressed with their vision for the future, and also impressed with their beer !!  After saying farewell, we headed NW out of Hobart, on the road to Queenstown and Strahan.  We had 3 days to get to Devonport to catch our ferry, so we were just planning a wander up through the NW corner of the State.
