Ducks Patch

Blanche wanted to do the 12 Apostles Road Trip. So we got planning, for us it's a 9 hour driving trip. She made it, and the wind didn't stop us. The dogs came with us, and had a good run on each beach we stopped at. Good day for all.  

 End of a rotten week. Flying home was a relief. Jennifer was back home after her surgery Mum's Funeral had gone well. and the Last of the Taylor Children said goodbye. Little did I know that the Headaches weren't over.

Who said you cannot have BBQ together in Winter Nichola, Martin, Sam and myself.  The rest were gone. We had said goodbye to mum and now is was our goodbyes.  

After Mum's funeral, the Family went to Cafe to talk and catch up. It was a realization at this time,  that this would most likely be the Last Time we would be Together. My plans are only to go back for Ann's Passing. So this is us, the Taylor Children.  Last Time Together  

 First it was the News,  Mum had passed away,  Next was Gemma-ann would not be traveling with me and Jennifer. Then suddenly Jennifer goes into Surgery.  This is not going to be a good week. So Wednesday Morning, on the plane to NZ Thursday, the funeral for mum Friday, to see the Lawyer  Saturday to see Ann. Sunday to Fly back Home. Praying nothing else goes wrong.

With the events going on Around me, I needed to clear my Head, walking in the forest is the best way to quickly do that. It was now that the impact of Mums passing is starting to hit me.  

After the Wildlife Park, we went off to the Sovreign hill  This was to show her how Victoria grew UP into the State it is. Our history is Young. We watched Candy being made, Blanche got to make candles. and Buy gift for her Mum and Dad. The off to Oceans Place for the rest of the weekend.  

I had Promised Blanche an encouter with Kangaroo's So off to Ballarat we went to the wildlife park there  Not only did she get close, but to got to  Cuddle a wallaby mother and pat the young in the pouch.  This was one Wallaby encounter she would not forget.

 Mum passed away on the 9th of August, This was to be come a firestorm for me, with Jennifer soon in Hospital as well.  May she raise in Peace.

The weather has been very wet lately, so the birds have been in hiding. Finally, this Kookaburra came out and was show us they had survived.  

 So today, to finish the travels, we went to the Yarra Valley Chocolate Shop, Blanche was in her element, a smile across here face.

Blanche wanted to see Australian Animals So off to see the Animals at the Healsville Zoo She took Gemma on a Koala experience and enjoyed getting close to them. She got to See Wallabies and Tassie Devils. Plenty of Birds And to feel like a Kangaroo baby  Great Adventure  

The sky had finally cleared up, And Blanche had a day off school So We went into Town to do the Eureka Tower   The view was clear and we could see for miles We could even see the mountain. Blanche is not afraid of heights  But the wind picked up and made the Clear deck cool. Blanche still had a great time.
