Relaxing Breakkie @ the Sensory Gardens Cafe

We spent a relaxing weekend breakfast at the Werribee Mambourin Sensory Gardens last week, and it was quite calming for the soul. Especially after a hectic week of work, this is really a place to wound down a little, even though if its only for an hour.


Dave was his usual self, this is part of the cafe which seemed to be a home operated cafe style type of ambience.


Daniel would be wondering around after spending most of his time at the sand pit while we eat and he was joined by a couple of kids - that's whats so relaxing about it! I can eat in peace!!



Thats me and bubs, trying to get a pose, but as you can tell, didnt really quite succeed.



Beautiful Gardens isn't it?



look at that - really natural style gardens.



They have blueberries here too!


Daniel obviously stomping the grounds with determination.





Cheeky Bugger, that boy! A morning well spent!
For people interested, log onto http://www.mambourin.org/10.0.html to find out more, they do functions as well!

Easter Echuca Encore

We deicded to head to Echuca during Easter and stop by a few places along the way... here s photos of our trip.

Its a long dusty road - I can't even remember whic h National park we stopped at - but there was NOTHING to see.
Here is Daniel, trying to see if there is anything to see.


Nice. No Water, this is a picture of a terrain of a drought -ridden state for you. INTERESTING.

Here's Dad trying to make the best of the situation - Boys will be Boys - playing Catch.



Food. This is more like it. David And Daniel and Mummy ( not in pic) Obviously someone has to take the photo. Daniel is coloring in while Daddy digs into this yummy food - Visit this place - fanatsic ambience and food. Check it out!!

A boys wreastle after the meal on the lavender plantations is really beautful - thank God for a wonderful day with great weather which we hardly get in this part of the planet. :)



Hanging out with the chooks ( chickens) in Echuca is great on a Sunday morning where the farmers display their stock ( no pun intended)



Ferry Watching is soulful too along the Great Murray River.



Watch this tree - Flood levels were said to be on the top notch of the tree ( WOW!) in the 1800s and then ipped down the tree in 1975 & 1974 ( going down) and now, look at the corner where the water is now. This is amazing!





Ok - maybe it doesnt look that great but its a family shot! Self taken :)






Home Sweet Home. On the way back in the car, Daniel in sweet slumber.
