Travelling Around

 Linking with Sunday Selections A walk around my garden today.  Yes, I am desperate for new photos. My husband is doing some maintenance  on the outside of the house, the weather is sunny but cool and I have been cooking as we have friends coming over for afternoon tea.  That is my life these days.  Spring is definitely in the air!  A couple of weeks ago we had two large trees removed from our garden as the large roots were causing damage to our paths and brickwork so they had to go.   I have a few plants ready to put out in the garden  as soon as we prepare the area as we had the tree stumps mulched so there is a huge amount of sawdust which needs to be spread around. My veggie garden raised bed Raised veggie bed in May 2020 Ron making the garden bed The broccoli has gone to seed The bees are happy The Grevillea are doing well A few Freesias for perfume The Violas are so pretty The Cyclamen keeps flowering The first time my orchid has flowered The pansies from last year are still flow

Travelling back in time  .....  2006 In 2006 we travelled from our home in Adelaide to  Uluru (Ayers Rock).  This was our first trip to the Northern Territory and also the longest trip we had done in our van.  We were amazed at how the colour changed depending on the time of day and the weather.  We were fortunate that it rained one day and the Rock took on a totally different colour and the water running off the rock was wonderful to see. The walk around the base of the rock is about 10.6 km. Above, the rain on the Rock was spectacular and from a distance it was very different looking and the colour was more of a purple colour. Uluru is a sandstone rock formation and is 335 km south west of Alice Springs.  Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area.  Around the rock there is an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. In 2006 tourists were allowed to climb the Rock but were advised that it was a sacred site to the aborigi

                            Burra is a historic tourist town in the mid north of South Australia.  It lies east of the Clare Valley in the Bald Hills, part of the northern Mount Lofty Ranges. Linking with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday  and Pictorial  Tuesday https://peabea.blogspot.com/ A weekend away wouldn't be complete without a few "rusty" photos. On our way to Burra we passed through Clare, a wine growing area in South Australia. We stayed in Burra at the Paxton Square cottages which were once the Miners Cottages and have now been renovated with everything we wanted for a nice weekend, including air conditioning, two doonas just in case one was not enough, a kitchen with everything we needed and a modern bathroom and a comfortable lounge room - perfect!  We were invited to a lovely home and garden which was wonderful.
