Scenes from our holiday

If your shoes aren't flying off, you're not swinging hard enough.

This is the road between the two little villages of Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba.  PJ and I had our honeymoon in Tilba Tilba, in a house called The Valley Country Home.  It was owned by people named Catherine and Lynton; Lynton had been the Executive Chef at the Hilton in Melbourne but decided to give it away to run his own Guest House where he could cook superb meals for a few people at a time.  PJ and I have had the good fortune to eat at some bloody good restaurants in our time and nothing comes close to the food that Lynton made us. 

The house is still there but it's a private home.  The owner rents out the cottage on the same block of land - the cottage that Lynton and Catherine were building for themselves when we were there in 1996.   

The girls fed the Rainbow Lorrikeets all week.  The birds would fight over the bread, and the kids would fight over the birds.  Everyone was happy.

Sailboats in the harbour at Bermagui.  I could happily retire to a little coastal town like this, and spend my days messing about in boats.

Ratty was right: "There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats" - great snaps, thanks!

Looks gorgeous and looks like you had wonderful weather. It's been raining since we arrived in Australia, but I can see why y'all (we) need it! You can really see Australia's English heritage in one of your shots!
