Springtime stroll along the prom....

It was a lovely day for a seaside excursion and the views across the water were quite stunning as we headed north and then back south along the Redcliffe peninsula. Views from the picnic spot were also terrific, though spoilt a little by some of the items in the foreground.

Miss Demeanour hosted the run on her own - and she did a great job! Many thanks! Shockjock, after spending the day car-rallying, demonstrated that he was not feeling at all car-sick by preparing himself the biggest burger in the Redcliffe area. Here's the Before shot - we had to censor the After one, since it really wasn't suitable for public viewing....

It was good to catch up with Topless's mother (out on a visit from Bonn) as well as Tinkerbell, Hook and a couple of other folk we don't see regularly. Jamesbondage and Redbreast are back home in what Tasmanians call the North Island. They're feeling the need for exercise after thoroughly exploring the gastronomic delights of the South one.

Our WA travelers Charcoal, Strine and Eweshggr have now been on the road for some seven weeks and have clocked up some 7200 km. They are still finding plenty of wildflowers, notably in the Lesueur National Park. They have also seen more stromatolites at Lake Thetis and Hansen Bay, and have visited The Pinnacles - "masses of  rocks of all sizes, that look very like termite nests." They have been "amazed by km of grass trees along both sides of the highway in the Wanagarren Nature Reserve and for a long way beyond that" and visited Gingin, "a very English town, with...many old buildings."

Here are a few shots - and you'll find more here.
