Little Wandering Wren …. chats!

We're all going on a Summer holiday! No more working for a week or two... The Australian summer school holiday period stretches  from late December until the end of January.  With endless days to fill, many families head off to the water.  I have previously posted about our Gippsland roadtrip   in my 'Glorious Gippsland' and ' Doggie comes too' posts.  Here are some of my remaining and favourite blue photo's from our recent trip! Blue shell and coral at Woodside Beach, Gippsland Lakes Entrance  is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the region offering the choice of the calm waters of the Gippsland Lakes, or the thrill of the surf, being  on the edge of Ninety Mile Beach on the Southern Ocean... The building below is the surf life saving Club at Lakes Entrance with it's tempting blue ice-cream flags outside and inviting bright blue benches.

We're driving to glorious Gippsland  in Eastern Victoria, to explore  the beautiful Australian countryside,  amazing beaches and wonderful rain forests. We choose Gippsland because of the variety of scenery offered and because it would offer my son, behind the wheel all the way, a good 'learning to drive' experience. We were not disappointed. Here are some of my favourite photo's from our roadtrip - what do you think?

My  Learning to drive in Victoria  post tells all, but suffice to say as we pull out of our safe suburban drive, it feels like a bit of a bloody * awesome adventure...  Setting off to explore Gippsland... I had planned for us to take the Grand Ridge Road , 133 km's of unsealed gravel track... well we have 105 hours of driving needed... Which sounded lovely, weaving throug...

Looking for a good place to holiday?  Look no further than  VENUS BAY... If you have just wandered in from the other side of the world  I hope you'll enjoy visiting this spectacular Victorian small coastal resort. We love Venus Bay !  We very nearly bought a holiday house there a few years ago, before deciding on a closer location on the Mornington Peninsula, and being the unadventurous types, opting for a town on mains drainage!  However for many, the pristine surf beaches make it worth going the extra mile. Venus Bay is a two hour drive, being 170km's South East of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The town is on a narrow peninsula of land, so it offers the holiday maker the choice of the wild, open sea of Bass Strait, or  the calm waters of Anderson Inlet.   Being just that bit further than many of the other more popular  South Gippsland  holiday destinations it is less crowded. A greater distance than  the f...
