Wednesday 06, March 2024 After yesterday's excitement, we decide to take it easy today; as do our macropodic friends. Wednesday 06, March 2024 I'm not walking all that well, so we decide to take a look at the Botanic Gardens. These were nearly destroyed by fire when we visited in February 2021. Wednesday 06, March 2024 This is the entrance to the gardens and, after the fires of 2021, it already looks much better. This cute blonde drives me around all day. Wednesday 06, March 2024 We have breakfast here but no eggs for me.
Wednesday 06, March 2024 I avoid the eggs and have a bowl of very nice Muesli. Jenni has tacos. Wednesday 06, March 2024 This spot was badly burned but it's very lush now. Wednesday 06, March 2024 Below me, volunteers work at rearranging the stones in the river bed. The grandstand area looks very nice too. Wednesday 06, March 2024 Stitched photo of the reed pond.
Wednesday 06, March 2024 A wall of trees with an interesting book at the end. Wednesday 06, March 2024 The pages are made of glass and it's a story of bushfires in this area. Wednesday 06, March 2024 The bushland is recovering but my stamina is poor. Wednesday 06, March 2024 Trees and grass are recovering. Very little damage remains in the area,
Wednesday 06, March 2024 Kangaroos rest at the end of of the reed bed. We're doing a circular loop to the exit as I'm tiring very quickly. We're due to meet Steve soon. Wednesday 06, March 2024 We (Jenni) drive a bit south of the Gardens to Mossy Point where we meet Steve. This shot of the re-united brother and sister is taken from Mossy Point which looks North to Tomakin Beach. Wednesday 06, March 2024 The headland in the far distance leads to Guerilla Bay where we were yesterday. Wednesday 06, March 2024 An historic anchor rusts away.
