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 .
