I arrived home on 20th August after being away for 5 weeks. I went on a Quilters Outback Tour of Australia, then I finished off with a stay in Queensland with my son, DIL and 4 grand children. They are all teenagers, and my oh my that washing machine never stops.
The trip was so good, and it was lovely meeting up with old friends. I went on the 2005 tour and most of the people on the 2008 tour were the same, give or take 2 or 3.
24 of us included the coach captain and the organisors. We visited a number of quilt shops ( doesn't the bank manager know it!) and also met up with quilters for pot luck meals. We made little gifts to take with us, and these were handed out at the get-togethers we had with the host groups. A lovely idea, and people often form new friendships from this.
One of the highlights of the tour was where the Southern Ocean and Indian Ocean meet. Very windy spot, and I ended up with quite a wind burnt face.
I took a few photos of some of the wildflowers in WA, although most of them weren't flowering as yet. Sorry not sure of their names, so best to write nothing.
