Ducks Patch

On Wednesday Nights, Queen Vic market comes to life. All the usual stalls are gone, and a lot more art stalls appear. instead of the usual 10 food vendor, there are 40 new ones. The first night, we had a mixture of Spanish, Indian and Texan followed by a spiced lemonade. It was a good night out, good, food, good music and great things around us.

At the moment in Melbourne it's spring, Thats a good thing right! But then you have not seen this flower. Hay fever hell. White and in bloom everywhere.

On Melbourne Cup Day, Jennifer and myself decided to head north for a drive into the country up north of Melbourne. first to Seymour , Yea and then Alexander, finally heading back home through Maryville. The country was already dry, but it was good to get into the country again, I find I need that on a regular basis. I enjoy the city but i am a country kids at heart. We got to see a lot of wildlife and the farming activity was still in progress, a change from the New Zealand habits. Still it was a good day out. Only 350 km round trip.
