Back to Buchan - May 24 2017

 

Went back up to Buchan today for lunch with a guest.  The Autumn leaves are still fabulous!

 

 

Fabulous Sunset–Lakes Entrance–May 21 2017

 

Don’t you love a spectacular sunset?  This almost looked like a water spout forming – but since it was not over the sea I assumed it was not.  Made for a great photo just the same!

Reflections in the clouds–Lake Tyers, May 12 2017

Went around to Lake Tyers this afternoon.  While sitting watching the boats and enjoying the peace, we noticed this reflection in the clouds.  We are assuming it was the smoke haze that caused this reflection. Click on any photo for a larger version.

Buchan Caves Reserve–Autumn Colours– May 2017

A drive to Buchan Caves today and what a spectacular display of fantastic colour, light and shade!   It is a beautiful place to visit at any time of the year, but especially now as the trees are dropping their autumn leaves.  I wish we had gone up a few days earlier when more leave would still have been on the trees, but notwithstanding, it is still an amazing and beautiful sight.

Just love these huge birds, each with it’s own personality and quirks, they are always fun to watch, especially when they are preening! Amazing what they can do with their beaks!

East Gippsland Field Days

 

 

We attended the East Gippsland Field Days event at Bairnsdale Airport today,  as we have for the last four or so years.  We felt that this year was much improved, with more seating, more displays and better laid out in the area.  We totally enjoyed the day! 

Last time we had trouble finding somewhere to sit down to have a coffee and food, but this year there were seats strategically placed around the area, providing plenty of seating. Nagle College band were playing, so we sat and had our lunch and spent an enjoyable half hour listening to the students enjoy their music. There were plenty of toilets placed around the whole area, and they were clean and well stocked with necessities! If you have some time tomorrow, I highly recommend taking the family out for the day. Well done to organisers and everyone involved, was a very enjoyable day.

The highlight for me was seeing the camels.  They are amazing creatures, and they were all lined up waiting so patiently for whatever might happen next.  See their Facebook page for details Australian Camels.
