and to start the belonging...

I am off on a trip! leaving first thing tomorrow.

Down to the southern state of mainland Australia: Victoria...

travelling through some gorgeous country side... along the Great Ocean Rd, past the 12 Apostles(of which there are only about 7 left)... to Daylesford, where I believe there are natural spas... up to Swan Hill, across the Hay Plains.. then home. Taking about 13 days on the back of the Harley, no less.

Of course I will be safe 'cause I have myself surrounded with angels and all manner of deceased ancestors and friends. I have vintage rosary beads in my pockets, angelite crystal and a few vintage religious medals pinned to the inside of my leather jacket.
so dear friends.. will miss you lots but I have my (new, birthday) camera at the ready, so that when I get back, I can share this land that I call home.

    Have fun, be safe! I have completed a similar trip and it is so worth it, to be able to do a motorcycle trip at least once in a lifetime.

    Let me know when you get the bracelets!

    Have a great trip! When we lived in Melbourne we always used to take anyone visiting us from the UK on a trip along the Great Ocean Road. It is sooooo beautiful.

    Never did it on a motorbike though...

    Happy New Year!

    What a wonderful birthday trip. I did a similar shorter one once, but it wasn't a Harley. It was a Goldwing 1000. LOL Prolly Joe is saying "ick"! I know you'll have lots of fun and I know you'll be safe. Enjoy! xoxoxo

    G'Day,
    I am so loving hearing you say this is your home country. Good girl. I also liked that your birthday falls on the first day of the year a special time of looking forwards to new beginnings.
    Tuggeranong, where I live is quite close to Cooma. I have always wanted to have a better look at Daylesford after driving through the area years ago.

    O! My gosh I missed you!! darn! double darn!! just found your email yesterday after our silly book keeper opened it and then filed it never to be seen again until today.......I am so upset it would have been lovely to have "high tea" with you when you get here.

    I do hope your trip will be bags of fun!!
