We are going on a little Holiday ....

... leaving tomorrow, and coming back on Sunday.

We are going to
The River Cottage

Which is part of Merindah Cottages

Looking forward to it - they are so doggie friendly, and the people who own the unit have sent through a detailed map, places of interest along the way, things to do, what to see .......... and most importantly a list of places where they will accept doggies whilst you have lunch or a quick drink or two :D

Plan on taking LOTS and LOTS of pics.

Take Care
See you next week.

Michelle and the spotties!!

At Loooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg Last .... here are some pics

This was the view from the cottage :

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...e/f2641d83.jpg

We had our own jetty - pity we didn't have a boat!!!

Here is Captain on the jetty - but NOT SITTING NEAR HIS MUM ...... just in case she shoved him in the water ... (which I wouldn't do ...)

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...4/f2641d1a.jpg

I did not let Ruby come up near the jetty - because she would have jumped in ..... and then I would have had to go in too!!!
So I played with her in the yard instead

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...b/f2641d82.jpg

The view down river from the jetty

The pups watching their MUM take a pic of the sunset

Black swans on the Lake ..

FINALLY - a good pic of Ruby actually standing still .........
"what is that bird over there Mum???"

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...8/f2641cc4.jpg

We went over to Raymond Island - and you can only get there by ferry - 300 metres from the mainland to the island!!!!! :D :D :D
So it takes about 2 minutes on the slow ferry ..... I could swim it faster ............
ANYWAY, lookie at what I found in the tree

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...2/f2641d48.jpg

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...c/f2641b3e.jpg

..... yes, a Koala!!! There is a huge colony on the island apparently. I, of course only found ONE Koala. The 2nd pic was kindly sent to me by a gentleman I work with who lives on the island!!!!!

BUT, these I took ......

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...2/f2641d32.jpg

This is a Rainbow Lorikeet .......... isn't it beautiful!!!

And this is a Rosella ....

The album is HERE

Enjoy ..... :D

Wonderful pictures! Looks like you had a great time:) I love the pics of Captain and Ruby, they're such beautiful Dalmatians:D

Beautiful pictures, Michele! Cap and Ruby are such beautiful Dalmatians! I'll bet they made lots of new friends! I definitely have to go back to Australia! It was the best trip I ever had! I have a photo of me holding a Koala. I remember volunteering to be the first from our group! I was lucky because it pooped on the 2nd person to hold it! :D :D We were headed to a private island by sailboat and as I was getting out of the dingy, the current was so swift, I fell into the ocean and so did my camera! So I have no pictures at all. Not one person sent me any. I was too shocked and sad and upset to think straight. I should have bought an instamatic, but didn't. :( :mad: So it's a good excuse to head back!

Oh Michelle! I was so happy to finally see some pictures from your holiday:D

I must say I love Koala's, so the pictures of them were truly a treat for me.

Your family is looking wonderful as always, but this is one of my favorites...
