On the weekend we stayed in Bendigo, travelling up on Saturday and staying overnight in a small cottage and then leaving early the following morning for the race just out of town. There were a few hundred people there and it didn’t take long for the tent city to grow and take shape. Below: My…

Autumn colours at the garden
This is a Japanese Maple tree and I just loved the contrast of the red leaves against the greenery under the tree. Likewise the orange against the black in the photo below.
Visiting the George Tindale Garden
One weekend we visited the George Tindale Garden in Kallista. The autumn colours were gorgeous and I hope you enjoy these photos of what we saw there.
Autumn pathway
In Kallista there are beautiful gardens to visit. This was in the Gordon Tinsdale Gardens and the whole place was very colourful and beautiful.
Path in Kallista
Graham and I found this path that travelled alongside the Kallista-Emerald Road and we walked along a portion of it. It was quite damp and we walked single-file. You can see in the photo below that the trees were very tall – my husband looks dwarfed amongst them.
Sulphur Crested Cockatoo
We were visiting Grant’s Picnic Ground in Kallista and the bird life there is plentiful. This cockatoo was a real poser and showed me his left and right profiles and looked me full on – till he was tempted with food by a visiting tourist.

A study of ducks
Spreading and flapping its wings in the water I couldn’t resist getting sequential shots! This is the last of this particular series on ducks.
A study of ducks
Contentment is what I think of when I see the top photo. That duck didn’t move once although there were several of us milling around. The other was just checking us out before returning to the water.
