After a decade on the Murray/Darling confluence I've moved to the Bellarine Peninsula on Pt Phillip Bay. I've been so lucky to spend time with the fabulous birdlife and animals and the river itself, not to mention the warm and friendly people of the Sunraysia. Now i'll be close to family and old friends. My new home is surrounded by the bay and wetlands so there'll be much to discover

EASTER WEEKEND
IT'S BEEN A GREAT WEEKEND filled with people, we've just spread out all over the riverbank and soaked up the beautiful soft sunshine we've had, perfect weather. Walks around town, a trip into mildura to the market and a beer in Langtree, surprised on easter Saturday to find both Seasons and the Brewery closed at lunchtime.
We awoke yesterday to find little baskets of eggs and a chocky bunny at our bedroom doors :0)
it got cooler as the evening wore on but no-one wanted to go inside

lovely to meet luke and have his soft guitar accompanying our chats out under the stars |
The beautiful full moon rose over the lock, big and yellow the second night |
we called in to visit mer and dee, gail had a good long chat to mer about her music setup and susan and i drooled over dee's gorgeous silversmithing equipment. I'd love to learn more about making jewellery, hope she has classes at some stage

EASTER FRIDAY
A DAY OF CLEANING - windows, the garden, house. Then everyone started arriving around 3. it's funny to see the yard filled with vans and a tent, it's become a camping ground.
we spent all afternoon outside on the riverbank, had a barbie and luke played gentle guitar as a background to our chat as we sat around the fire until about 11. we had a lovely evening, 12 of us
all together for the long weekend :0)
Terrible photos by me tho :0( i forgot until fairly late.
