SHE
SAID:
A
sad day; I heard that one of the first people I met in Australia,
Agnes Fisher, died today of cancer. I knew her for 25 years &
worked with her for 10 of those years.
Geoff
& I had a trip into Nowra this morning to get the ute looked at,
as there was a warning light on the dash. With us towing the caravan
we didn't want any issues arising from not getting it checked out. I
had a wander around the town whilst Geoff waited for the car.
We
got back to Bertie at Currarong around 11.30am, completed our packing
up & headed for Kangaroo Valley by midday. We
checked into a nice caravan park called Glenmack, and got a large site
with views of cliffs & fields of lush green grass. Geoff very
cleverly asked at reception about good spots to maybe see wombats, so
around 3.30pm we headed about 15 mins out of town to a lovely place
called Bendeela camping area; a free camp.
Well,
I was in 7th heaven; wombats, wombats EVERYWHERE. I
think my tally was 13. I was VERY happy.

HE SAID:
I was saddened to hear of Agnes' death. She was always a friendly and relaxed person, with her country upbringing coming to the fore regularly.
I am on a bit of a roll. First with the whale sighting, and now with the wombats. I guess that keeping the wife happy is a husband's job, and I do try. Somehow, I know that this purple patch will end, but while it lasts I'm going to try and enjoy it!
