Venus Bay was a favourite spot, with a population of just fifty

that swells in summer to over 3000. Unfortunately we were there

in an unseasonable heatwave of 40 – 42 degrees.

 

 

 

Another favourite was Koppio Smithy Musuem.

With many original and restored buldings.

 

 

 

English paper pieced hexagon quilt and a cuchion cover with suffolk puffs.

 

 

 

Lots of examples of redwork from the late 1800’s

and a signatue cloth from the early 1900’s.

 

The ancient craft of corn dollies, very fragile and behind glass.

 

 Many, many old sewing machines, irons, washing machine and cash registers.

 

 Just had to take a photo and post this.

 

Edward John Eyre sculptures at Kimba,

the halfway point across Australia.

 

We saw this Wedge Tailed Eagle on a fence post,

by the time we stopped the car and got out the camera

he had taken off along with the other adult and two young ones.
