We arrived at Heather's property and she had been out that morning and bought 500 new sheep and lambs
And here is our welcoming committee
A few days reprive then it was off to work on the Monday - Rob captured some of Frances and Binnum from the silos at work
Then off to Mt Gambier the following weekend where Liz caught up with some of her long lost cousins
Frances Viterra was a lot more laid back than Bowmans
instead of 450 trucks a day it was more like 50-70
Still the work was tiring especially after a 72 hour week and not a day off for 15 days
Then finally the rains came and the local pub was flooded
A big brown snake was signposted just outside the Frances pub as a sign that they are around
It also meant a few days off work and Heather, her daughter Kyla and aunty Maureen took ourselves to Penola (also the home of Mary Mackillop) where we visited some nice wineries and had lunch at Hollicks
We stopped off at Bool Lagoon on the way back (see picture of week for the froggy shot)
and we watched some bird life
The next day Rob and Liz drove down to Beachport - felt the need to be near the ocean
This jetty used to go 4,500 metres into Rivoli Bay but now is approximately half that length
still a long jetty though
Where the waters are pristine blue
Beachport was a beautiful spot with great coastlines
Then we drove round to Robe where we had some of the nicest fish and chips and calamari for a very long time (I can certainly recommend the deepsea boarfish - delicious!!)
Then of course it was a pale ale at the local pub before venturing off home
