A few photos from a trip to the country in Spring. The echidna was crossing the road as we drove along and I stopped to take this photo. He/she ambled down a driveway after letting me take some pictures. It was the first echidna I have ever seen in the wild!
Picnic at the beach
On the weekend we visited a friend who lives near the beach, we had a picnic in a little cove. I just love finding fun things in nature like these red and black
There were also lots of little schools of fish, if you were fast enough you could catch them with your cupped hands.

Boy in the mirror
Ethan is growing up so fast!! He has put on a lot of weight all of a sudden and looks like a toddler now. Here are some pictures I took this week of him looking at himself in our bedroom mirror. On thursday I took Ethan to the park for a swing.
Inspire Me Thursday - Breakfast
I had this yummy dish for breakfast last october. This mango was from a friend who has a family mango farm in the Northern Territory. She came back from mango picking with some delicious mangos! I had this for breakfast with banana, plain greek style yoghurt, sunflower seeds and shredded coconut. YUM!! The taste of summer.
Coffs Harbour
One of the highlights of the trip for me was a visit to the Butterfly house in Coffs Harbour. I think butterflies are so fascinating. I just love the tropical landscape on the north coast of New South Wales and Queensland.
The next day we visited the little artistic community of Bellingen. We had a delicious lunch at the Gallery Cafe. It is so beautiful in the hills around that area.
back from the beach
Every summer my husband's family get together for a holiday at Burleigh Heads in Queensland. We haven't been for 4 years because we were living far away in Western Australia. But this year we are living closer and managed to spend a week in the sun and surf. We would have liked to stay another week to unwind fully but we had a good time. Ethan had a blast!! He loved the sand and water but he may have eaten some sand! The sun umbrella in the right hand side of the photo is about 60 years old.
