One week and then a weekend in Australia praecised in pictures.

Australian Quilt Convention 2010

The venue, Ballarat Patchwork's stand, the quilts, the Amitie girls.

Revisting childhood memories at the beginning of the Victorian High Country.

The blackened trees were from pre-emptive burning on Black Saturday

Next day we headed down at 'The Farm' in the Western Coastal region.

The cockies were heading home to roost, the storm clouds were brewing and the horses were cross at being interrupted mid-supper.

In a non-Marx Bros way we spent a day at the races.

Giovanna's f-i-l watching his horse not win. Note posh members pass?

Killer Attack brother arranged for myself and Sylv to go visit them up in the tropics.

Tropical views form the street and the deck, football/soccer played by my grown-up godson, a visitor blew in while we watched from the shade, a gecko, the world's biggest box ever of 'please take me back' chocolates (they were unsuccessful but very yummy) .

Sew It Together bus trip in pics.

Too many to name individually but thanks for a lovely day (does anyone else remember the Fossey's advert?)

Sew It Together - the craft sessions.

So many new friends, so little actual crafting, so much fun.
