Superman falls in love

I have fallen in love….

WOW!  I have found the woman of my dreams… she is of few words, and oh sooooooooo beautiful, sitting quietly on the bench, taking in the sun, I am sure I am  in loooooooooooooooove. I wanted her to come with us, but she would not leave her seat-she loved her wee town soooooooooooo much she was gluuuuuuuuued to promoting her wee village.

We had gone for a drive to Clunes – a small village, about 45 minutes from our campsite in Beremboke. A population of around 1000 people, the shops are housed in the original buildings – the whole street comprising of about 12 shops-of which 3 were open!  We enjoyed the 2^nd hand bookshop – Murray and Brenda bought some more reading material and we had lunch at the café.

Onto Talbot-(where I met the dream of my life), stopping for the antique shop, where my dream girl lives….. Never mind, Murray bought me a hokey pokey ice cream-this did help me forget the blonde bombshell

And onto Maryborough – a large town-shops down the main street and side streets, mainly,-junky, 2^nd hand, then to Avoca and down the Sunraysia Highway where we saw 120 wind turbines on the brown hills at Waubra. These wind turbines produce enough power for 150,000 homes-the size of Ballarat. This is a joint venture with a Spanish company and provides 30 local jobs.

Later in the week we went to Melbourne and watched the Chinese New Year procession through Chinatown. Dragons danced, drums drummed, double happys exploded, while we ate yum cha. Murray and Brenda say the yum chas are not as good as Perth and Auckland.

While in Melbourne we visited Captain Cook’s cottage and in the garden was a storytelling tree.

Perhaps this is what the storytelling tree at the new COP library will look like.
