This shop brags of having 3000 teapots.....it is the most amazing collection ever. In fact I thought I had died and gone to heaven as I looked around at all the quaint sort of Victoriana goodies for sale. Needless to say I resisted......not easy!

Yarra river
Jazz in the winter sun and a few glasses of lovely cold wine.....a great way to round off our tour along the Yarra River Valley.
It had a decidedly French feel about it.

Richmond Sydney
I have decided I could die and be buried in Australia. Many of the cemetries are well kept and have fresh flowers put on the grave stones. They are interesting to walk around. This child died in 1855 !

It was good to catch up with Jacqui who taught with us in Big Bend.
Jacqui picked us up at Sydney airport and took us on a little tour of the city!
Jacqui is teaching at a para-catholic school in the next village and is kept very busy with her long day!

One not so dear little Possum watching and waiting. They are very cute at a distance but when they enter the house and claw you it is not so amusing. mmmmm

Back in Townsville, we had loads of fun with Les and Mandy. Lester dropped a whole pack of soda into the pool and it happened to be a chilly day! WHO was going to get into the pool and save the day?
Daintree
We went as far north as Daintree which is a quaint little settlement on the river. It is lush and green.
This is where Diana worked with Muz and Pru before Chris moved to Australia.

This has to be the most beautiful church ever! It is in Port Douglas overlooking the ocean. This is a view of the altar with the windows opening on to the most glorious view ever. What a wonderful place to reflect and pray. It is an Anglican church too.
Townsville
We borrowed the car and went exploring further up the coast northwards. We went as far as Cairns, Port Douglas and Daintree. This is such a lovely coastline however, swimming is just too dangerous. This is due to "stingers' and fresh water crocodiles.
Townsville
Here Warren, Lester and Mandy set off on a sprightly walk up Castle Hill.
