Marina Sounds wonderful! Just the thing after a long stint of hard work

Cookie that's interesting about another big sheep in Wagin. Will have to check it out ;D

Denise DH was thrilled with his personal best times and I was happy he didn't break the car (usually very expensive to fix) Goulburn fruits are from the Goulburn River Valley in the north of Victoria. Here's more about Goulburn NSW if you are interested.

Fraser Island and Hervey Bay are on my list Marina and glad to hear you enjoyed  the break away from work.
Gayle your trip was great too and hope you enjoyed it. Are you home now?

OK, I've done my test photo of the Jacaranda trees at Hervey Bay so fingers crossed that some more will work out.

Photos are:

Bats, waiting for dusk to take flight
Lake MacKenzie on Fraser Island
One of the crystal clear creeks on Fraser Island
DH and myself having drinks at Pt Vernon, Hervey Bay, waiting for sunset
Sunset at Pt Vernon

Just found that I cannot post all of these at once, so I'll do a series and hopefully that will work.

Thanks, everyone, but don't get too carried away, I'm still trying to post the final two photos, for some reason they are just not working – I’ll give it one last try before I give up in despair!

The photo is of DH and myself sitting at Pt Vernon waiting for the sunset ... the reason for the smiles is that I don't often drink, much less do I drink straight from a bottle - DH and DS thought this was very funny.  The second photo, so long as I can post it on this post, is of the sunset.

OK ... THAT'S IT, I'm giving up!!!  Obviously, the forum doesn't want to see me having a drink - it's far too shocking!  Hope you enjoy the photos I eventually did manage to get up!
