Beautiful Rainbow Lorikeets

Mosman Gorge North Queensland

Paronella Park. One place you must see. Built by Jose Paronella

He built a castle as his house for his wife and then went on to build a swimming pool, ball room, picnic tables and stools, walk ways, and so much more

worth doing a search on google about this man and his dream place.

Part of a remaining room at Paronella Park. Everything is being taken over by the moss now but the new owners are trying to restore as much as possible. I love the way it is now, as you walk around the place , not wanting to leave, So many areas of beauty you come out with such a overwelming feeling , what it must have been in its hey days ,

even had an icecream parlor for his visitors.

Think it was nearly destroyed twice from flood waters.

The beautiful sunrises at Rainbow Beach.

The sun rises over the ocean and sets over the Sandy Straits.

Another beautiful place.

New skin for the Gum Tree.

Shedding all the old bark off the reveal beautiful clean trunk.

Not really in the wild but I love dolphins,

these ones are at Sea World on The Gold Coast

Australia

I'm going to do this post on My Beautiful Country Australia.

I love nothing better that to get out and take photos of the flora and fauna of this great country.


I've taken so many photos over the years and not thank goodness for digital I can take even more and they are so much easier to sort through . Only drawback is that I don't get enough printed. But as long as they are safe in the computer....dare I say safe, may have to get my back up system a bit more organised, I can always go back over them. Its great to leave them for a while then have a real photo day, nothing else gets done once I open up the photo file, I can sit for hours happily reminissing over the days and holidays gone by.

Enough chatting , time to upload some pics, hope you enjoy

Till next time, stay safe Teepee

Outings

With my souvenirs (looking pretty chuffed with myself )

Helmut Lotti Concert
well I have been very spoilt lately, My darling surprised me with concert tickets to see Helmut Lotti. "Who" I can hear you all asking, well he is a Belguim singer who has the most amazing voice and can sing everything from opera to pop and rock. Does the best Elvis since the king himself. I have 3 of his DVDs and 3 CD and just love to listen to him, he's pretty easy on the eye as well. The concert was at The Convention Centre so we got to stay next door at Conrad Jupiters on the Gold Coast. Great room and view. Was a really wonderful night and as my Darling organised it , it was even more special.

Lost Arts Day

baby Llama, how cute is she

Mud bricks being made into an oven

Making butter the hard way

Saturday we went to The Lost Arts Day in aid of Angel Flight.

Held at Wallu a small area about 50 kms from Gympie.

Was a lovely early start, slight drizzle of rain but then it heated up to a very hot and very dry dusty day. The heavy horses were doing their thing in the paddock which was stiring up a whole lot more dust, but lovely to watch. They had butter making , shearing sheep, cow milking, lots of stalls selling their produce. The scouts put on billy tea and damper for a gold coin...very cheap cuppa. We left about 4 pm but they were going to have a pig on the spit and a band playing later on in the evening.

Hope they made heaps of money for a great charity and well done to Darryl who put it on. Hopefully will be an annual event and bigger every year. I'll try and put some pics in but this blog page seems to get the better of me and my photo placements. ( Well well I did it)

Now I've played on the computer long enough so I'd better get some other work done

one more interesting pic, my ants

I Know "weird " my girls will say

they are actually eating the poison I put out for them

till next time, stay safe and happy....TP
