HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Not quite my birthday, but yesterday I was given an early treat of high tea at the Skyhigh Restaurant on Mt Dandenong by our oldest daughter and grandsons.  It was a beautiful, warm day and the view from the top of the mountain was fairly clear.  We could see all the way to Melbourne and beyond to the bay. 






These are a few photos taken while we were there including the lovely afternoon tea that was served to us with as much tea and coffee as we wanted.  We ate so much, we didn't need dinner that evening. It was a really lovely family time.

Sydney is always a wonderful start to a cruise with such views of the harbour bridge and Opera House. First port of call was Hobart, Tasmania.  The weather was overcast and had been raining earlier on but was dry the full time we were off the ship. Moving on, we visited Burnie another port in Tasmania before sailing to our home town of Melbourne.  We took a river cruise over to Williamstown where we had fish and chips for lunch followed by an ice cream.  It was a beautiful, warm day. Adelaide was next.  It was Good Friday so most shops would have been closed so we decided on a walk down by the river.  We'd b
