Home Again

Well, our weekend at Bonnie Doon is over. We are home once more, unpacked and back to reality. It is so nice to have somewhere to go, that only takes two hours to get to, where all we need to take is some clothes and food. Everything else is there waiting for us.

Once again, today was glorious weather. It was quite hot, actually. Not sure of the temperature, but I reckon in would have been somewhere around 30C. There was no wind for most of the day, so it felt warmer than if there had’ve been a breeze. Too bad we had to pack up and go home !!!

This here is a photo from the road, looking over at the Bonnie Doon bridge. In the past few years, there has been no water under the bridge, as the lake level has been really low. This year, for the first time in quite a few years, it has reached nearly 50% of it’s capacity. It’s amazing to see so much water again. I’m looking forward to putting the boat in over the Christmas break, and going for a drive underneath it again.

For those of you who don’t know Bonnie Doon, it is only a small town, which is reliant on the tourist trade to survive. During the Winter months it is the traffic heading to the snowfields, who use all the facilities in town. In Summer, it is the boating people who frequent the area. The town, and nearby areas, are literally swarming with people during the Summer. The banks of the lake are crowded with shade houses, cars, boats, and people, all there to enjoy the beautiful lake, and endless sunshine. It is certainly a sight to behold.

On our way home, we detoured off road a bit, touring through the countryside, exploring a little bit. Took a few happy-snappies.

Loved this spider in it’s web … sorry if it freaks you out. I have always had a fascination with spiders, they are so interesting. Used to have a huge one (similar to a tarantula) in a jar when I was a kid.

Anyway, I’d better go now, must write my Christmas cards. Only two weeks to go. Think I’ve almost left it too late.

Enjoy the remainder of your weekend. Take care.
