Hello, have been missing this weekend, because we took a drive down the coast. Took a visit to The Otway Fly, a treetop walk through our beautiful rainforest. Here are some pics I thought you'd like to see.

My DH would like to thank you for the photos. He is from Victoria and remembers London Bridge when it was whole. Once when he went there the waves were so huge they were crashing over the top of it.
Gorgeous photos, I see potential for a landscape quilt there :)

He was from Reservoir in Melbourne. His Mum is still there and he still has brothers and sisters scattered all over Melbourne. When we come down it is usually for a flying visit, but would love to make the quilt show in April one year.
Have you seen Jenny Bowker's quilt of the 12 Apostles? It is stunning http://www.jennybowker.com/shipwreck.htm
