Day 14, 12/5, Avonsleigh

Lunch in Avonsleigh


As the majority of our UK visitors were staying near Alan and Noeline we invited them up for lunch and a taste of the Dandenong Ranges and an opportunity to say farewell until next time.
First stop was Cardinia Reservoir , and hopefully some Kangaroo’s and Emu’s in the wild. Whilst Maritta, Claire and Norman busily setup for lunch and the arrival of our visitors.  Dale went to Cardinia Reservoir to met up and then guide everyone to Avonsleigh.

Day was damp with occasional sunshine so the Kangaroo’s were sadly all hiding in the forest and the Emu's where also not interested in coming out.

Next stop was Emerald Memorial Walk and the recently installed carving of "The Unknown Soldier".
From here a short drive found us at home for late lunch and finally sad goodbyes.

Photographs thanks to all on the Rally .
