Monday

This post is for Donna who says she misses my posts about our weekend jaunts when I have no posts about sewing LOL.

On Monday we both had the day off so decided to take our car for a dirt road drive before we get the new one (can't get the new one dirty!!). So we headed down to the southern highlands, about a 45 min drive down the freeway from us. We had planned to go driving in a particular forest but couldn't find the right map so didn't want to venture too far off the main forest roads.

This is in the Penrose State Forest and this is clump of trees they haven't chopped down, I assume because they are gum trees and not the pine trees that they harvest.

Of course no drive would be complete without a yummy BBQ lunch - I tell you it was so cold there we were fighting for prime position next to the BBQ!!! LOL
We then drove down to the Morton National Park near Bundanoon and here is the spectacular view of the "Grand Canyon".
