The Aussie Bush

Over at A Snap, A Set and A Song this week the theme is Bush.

I couldn't share a snap of the Aussie bush without including one of this cute little fella! 

He hangs out in the Yanchep National Park.

My Set is a collage of bush scenes from around Australia. 

I spent a couple of nostalgic hours trying to find an Aussie song video set in the bush. 

This is a great old favourite! Ian Moss only had a couple of hits on his own, 

but he also made some fantastic music with Cold Chisel. He has an awesome voice!

Pop over to Thea's blog to see some more link ups about the bush.

Love to you!

Sovereign Hill

I haven't had a chance to tell you about our trip to Sovereign Hill, Ballarat, when we were in Victoria. What a great place! Soverign Hill is a small village that is a replica of the goldfields in Victoria in the 1850s. In effect, it is a living museum. People work there in pioneer costume, as shop owners, tour guides or as actors playing the parts of soldiers,miners, town criers and settlers. School children can visit and take part in an 1850s classroom. It is so interesting to watch!

I so loved the old buildings, and the whole atmosphere of the town.
A truly memorable experience!
