Great Places To Visit - Tumby Bay South Australia.

Nestled on the S.A. coast about 50kms from Port Lincoln S.A., is the little town of Tumby Bay.  It's a quaint little fishing village. Lovely beaches, Top Tourist Caravan Park (very comfortable), assorted shops including a delicious Bakery. People here are friendly, the weather has been great and it's very relaxing.

We are staying in our caravan at the Tumby Bay Top Tourist Park, right on the beach. It about a 1 1/2km walk from here to the shopping centre.  We take our bags and head off each morning straight to the bakery for fresh supplies. Each day we reward ourselves for the long walk (Ha!) and buy a sweet for morning tea, then walk home via the Foodland, butcher, chemist, post office, hardware store or whatever shop we need to stop at. There is a bit of sea weed about at the moment, but it's not here all the time....we just got lucky! Doesn't bother me though. Still clear areas you can swim in.

It's a great way to start the day. Later on we head over to the beach for another walk or perhaps a swim. Peaceful, clean, pretty. What more could you want?? If you do want more shops, then slot in a visit to Port Lincoln which is a major town and has everything you could need. Only 50kms down the road. Too easy.

I'm thinking we will be back here again in the future.

It's Baby Magpie Season

Yes it's Spring again. I know because the local magpies have 2 babies. I know this because I occasionally throw out scraps on my back lawn to supplement their food rations and they are regular visitors. This week they brought me a present.....2 babies. Must be a good season this year to be raising 2 babies instead of 1. Anyway the magpies here in Melbourne are white backed magpies as apposed to the magpies at Tocumwal in N.S.W. which are black backed magpies. Also the birds here in Melb. are larger than their northern cousins, probably all the McDonalds they eat down here! I enjoy listening to their warbling song and can't help but shake my head at the patience and persistence of the adult birds constantly being "harassed" by the chicks for food. They are noisy little critters when they are hungry and very bossy, often pecking at the adult birds for more food. I've named them....squarker 1 and squarker 2, they never seem to stop. Poor parent birds, these chicks a

Great Places To Visit To Eat in Melbourne. - Jahdomes - Mill Park

There's a lovely little French Cafe called Jahdomes off Childs Rd, Mill Park ( I think the shopping centre is called "The Stables"). if you happen to live within visiting range. Have eaten there a couple of times now with friends and found the food very good. They have a good range of breakfasts, lunches, tapas and desserts.  Good coffee to. They are closed on Tuesdays, but open otherwise as far as I know. I enjoyed the Mediterranean Scrambled Egg with Turkish Bread (feta, chorizo, tomato ) and coffee for lunch today. Very good. My friend had a scrambled egg with smoked salmon and a side salad instead of Turkish Bread, which they were happy to do, and she enjoyed that as well, and washed it down with a Chi Latte with spice. Breakfasts can be ordered up to 3.00pm so if your like us and like your eggs, you can have them for lunch!

Great Places To Visit - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - Global Ballooning Australia - Sunrise Flight

Took a fantastic sunrise flight over Melbourne this morning under the guidance and care of pilot Steve Buckley from Global Ballooning Australia. Wonderful experience. Steve took good care of the 10 of us on his flight and kept us informed of what was expected, what was happening next, and what to look for on the flight. He also carefully explained safety procedures and landing instructions confirming that everyone understood what was explained. The experience was amazing. The weather was perfect for flying with the sun rising serenely as we drifted towards Melbourne City.  The flight lasted for about 1hr and we landed safely at Essendon Airport. Those who wanted participated in the unpacking and packing up of the balloon which was great fun. Wonderful experience, great flight, felt safe at all times. Would recommend Global Ballooning Australia, and pilot Steve Buckley.  www.globalballooning.com.au
