A quick trip into Lakes Entrance today for supplies, then around to Bullock Island to see what’s what. Nothing much happening. The dolphins were still there, but too far away for pictures, few boats coming and going. Decided on a drive around to Metung, bit windy and brisk off Shaving Point, but nothing photo worthy happening. Always a nice drive home from there, the countryside is green and pretty.
Again I think what a great place we live in!
If I drive to the end of my street, I can turn right and go into the high country, if I turn left I can go to the sea – isn’t that the best of both worlds? And what a great decision to have to make when wanting to go for a drive! The sea, or the mountains? I’m not sure which I love best! If you can’t have the sea, have the high country with it’s beautiful mountainous terrain and wonderful opening vistas as you travel the roads, winding and twisting through the area. You never know what you will find around that next corner, what magical vista will open before you next.
We have found that people in the high country are different, and it’s a good kind of different. They may not be as sophisticated as others, but their hearts are pure gold, and they are open, honest and friendly, they look you in the eye and they grin – a somewhat cheeky grin and you sense a spark of genuine love of life, and love of a shared joke, a shared sense of the ridiculous and a unique ability to laugh at themselves, and you too if you do something funny. But it’s not a malicious kind of humour, and if you are in need of help, they are right there with all you need, no questions asked and no repayment required. They are, generally, the most honest, hard working and friendly people you will come across. That being said, don’t do the wrong thing by them, don’t try to cheat them, they will be merciless in their pursuit! Being honest people themselves, they expect that you too, will be honest in your dealings with them, and if you are not, you better move on quickly!
So I’m cooking meatloaf and roast vegetables, better go and make sure they are not getting burnt beyond redemption! Thanks for reading my blog, comments are more than welcome.
