I am now house sitting for 10 days on 50 acres near Toowoomba, Queensland. I am looking after a cattle dog, 2 cats and 3 horses. The setting is very peaceful.

After Easter, I headed inland and drove north  through country towns to Dalby, Queensland. The old pubs in New South Wales  have interesting and varied designs.

January 2015 - Melbourne, Victoria

Melbourne has some wonderful architecture, built during the 1850 gold rush.
Lots of arcardes and alleyways, full of coffee shops, restaurants and small shops.

During the weekends, there are many, good quality buskers around.

Queenscliffe, a small town on the southern section of Port Phillip Bay. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the wealthy people in Melbourne came by boat to holiday here. Guest houses were popular accommodation.
