Hawkesbury Artists and Artisans Trail





Tom and I headed off to the Hawkesbury to see artists studios in Sackville just over the Sackville Ferry on the river bend. We were welcomed by Judy Brownlie at her studio next to the mudbrick home she had built with her husband Neil twenty years ago. Her paintings were filled with light and colour and were created from her travels and sketch books. She has been a painter for forty years and is well established with two shows a year.
K-2 Athletics Carnival









Nicholas and all the kids in K-2 at Cammeray Public School went to their Athletics Carnival. There was a 60m race and a 400m race. Nick participated in both, running along cheerfully. There were ball games and chasing games held for each year in the middle of the field. And there was a running race for parents which I went in. It was a fine late Winter's day with lots of sunshine.

Katoomba Scenic World















Scenic World at Katoomba is like visiting the Blue Mountains National Park in a zoo. I only say this because everything is made so beautifully easy for you to access the rainforest and view the Jamieson Valley and the Three Sisters with little physical effort. That being said you still get to walk under the trees breathe in the pristine air and feel one with nature. Nick and I had a great time wandering for an hour along the walkways and photographing the trees and tree ferns.
After completing our walk and ride the weather closed in over the mountains and it rained and we watched the clouds close in around us. Later this day we experienced some hail drops. Even nature cannot be tamed too easily.We hope that you enjoyed looking at our pics.
Mount Victoria












The Railway Museum open 2-5pm Saturday and Sunday
"On the Road with Nick"
Nick and I drove along the Bell's Line of Road up over Mount Tomah to Mount Victoria where were headed to the Victoria and Albert Guesthouse for the night. The plan was to pick up Tom from his walk (see below post) the following afternoon. On Saturday afternoon we walked around the village looking at the old wares shops and having afternoon tea at Deli n' More. There are lots of things to do in Mount Victoria besides shopping, historical buildings and explorers land marks. There is even a local cinema that shows recent flicks at 6pm on the Sat evening. While the rail line goes through two axis in the town the overnight noise was minimal. The Victoria and Albert Guesthouse proved to be a treasure trove of Federation architecture from 1914. Looking through the guestbook a recent guest was Liam 'Doc' Neeson
On Sunday we headed off to the tourist mecca of Katoomba to visit Scenic World. (see above post). Accommodation rating 2 and a half stars out of 5, good value.
