The reason we were in the Point Lonsdale area was to meet up with some of our homeschooling friends. A family we know holidays here every year after school starts. They took us to the beach to watch the big ships enter Port Philip. My toddler wandered up the path so I followed him for a game of hide-and-seek and another view of the beach. There was plenty to explore. Someone learned how to hang on to the boogie board, … Read More
Here’s a link to my first post on Point Lonsdale. We walked around the point and were treated to an absolutely incredible landscape. The kids were running down this hill. Dad had to show them how it’s done. After we’d spent time on the beach we walked up to the lighthouse. This is the view from above. I wonder how many people visit this lighthouse and don’t go down to the beach. This is what they’d see. Nearby is an … Read More
You’ll have to excuse the picture overload in this post. The kids had so much fun here! The Emerald Bank Adventure Park is such a great value. So much to do! We stopped here on our way out of town and spent a few hours trying out all of the activities. First we did the paddle boats… Then the rock climbing wall… Skeeterbug made it to the top! TurboBug insisted on having a go on the go-carts! Watch out for … Read More
While we were in Shepparton we had to visit Belstack Strawberry Farm to do some picking. They also have a nice little shop and tearoom, and even miniature golf (which we didn’t do). {Please pardon some of the picture effects I used in this post, I like to play around with them sometimes.} Picking strawberries was pure bliss for this little guy. There was no stopping him from eating them straight off the plant. It was a hot day. The … Read More
More cows in Shepparton. They have a Mooving Art exhibition that has local artists painting fiberglass cows that are placed around town. To celebrate the town’s dairy industry, I believe. We had a second visit to Shepparton and I can attest that the cows did move (or mooove) locations. The day we were having our van serviced we had a picnic lunch in a quite visible park. It’s on the way into town and is surrounded by constant traffic. I’m … Read More
These posts are going to be a bit out of order while I get caught up on some blogging. After the holidays we headed to Shepparton because we needed to get our caravan serviced and made an appointment at a place there. We have been having a problem with our gas heater (we have central heating in the van). We dropped the van off and headed into town to explore. I’ve heard about this big playground in Shepparton with huge … Read More
