NIGHT VISITOR

Tonight, John called me to see the possums who were walking across our front fence so I rushed in and got my camera to see if I could get a shot.........they're quite cute little animals as long as you don't have a metal roof as we used to have because if they jump from a nearby tree onto your roof in the middle of the night, it gives you quite a scare. Thank goodness we have tiles on the roof now and don't hear them even if they do run across the roof. After I took this photo, the possum made a dash up a nearby tree......I guess he was camera shy.

Entering the freeway behind Eastland Shopping Centre, the traffic moved really quickly and before we knew it, we were doing 100 kpm. Along the way, we saw a few "sculptures" but this was my favourite - a giant blackbird One vehicle, not going at the same speed as all the other cars, was using the side lane so as not to hold everyone back......but I guess he was having a great drive too. After travelling for about half an hour, and nearing Frankston and the end of the tollway, there was a sudden traffic jam which took us about 10 minutes to get through to a place we could turn so we could make the return journey. All in all, it was a very pleasant drive and not having to stop at all, was brilliant. It would definitely be worthwhile using it if we had to travel to Frank
