with friends and went to the Art Gallery. Shared meals and conversations with
Barry and Margaret Oakley, Rhonda Robins, John Boully, David and Sue White- all living in Adelaide.
In Melbourne visited Katrin Ogilvy - still recovering from a fall onto her new knee replacement
and Ian's death (Ogilvy - her ex ), stayed the night with Lis Banks and enjoyed a good visit with Garnet
who is in full time care at the Adventist long term facility.
Lis is brave, determined and challenged by her imovemnt challenges
but still full of possibility. We had a great time as usual in her presence.
Then to the east via Warragul and out to Ellinbank - JT's country and their organic farm.
Stayed with friends in Yarragon then along the southern coast to Sale for the night.
Then exploration of the south coast through Vic and NSW towns of Ballacoota, Narooma,
Bermagui and Ulladulla and Bowral to our home at Hazelbrook in the Blue Mountains..
Apart from the opportunity to reconnect with our dear life time friends, the impetus for this trip
was to collect the sorted files (by Jonathan Barker) from Frank Bremner's immaculate collection.
The van worked well and we were very snug - with the 17 archive boxes in the passage way!!
Returned home just before the heavy rains and storms began along the south coast!!
Blessings to you and friends,
Elaine and John
