Went back up to Buchan today for lunch with a guest. The Autumn leaves are still fabulous!

Fabulous Sunset–Lakes Entrance–May 21 2017
Don’t you love a spectacular sunset? This almost looked like a water spout forming – but since it was not over the sea I assumed it was not. Made for a great photo just the same!

Reflections in the clouds–Lake Tyers, May 12 2017
Went around to Lake Tyers this afternoon. While sitting watching the boats and enjoying the peace, we noticed this reflection in the clouds. We are assuming it was the smoke haze that caused this reflection. Click on any photo for a larger version.

Buchan Caves Reserve–Autumn Colours– May 2017
A drive to Buchan Caves today and what a spectacular display of fantastic colour, light and shade! It is a beautiful place to visit at any time of the year, but especially now as the trees are dropping their autumn leaves. I wish we had gone up a few days earlier when more leave would still have been on the trees, but notwithstanding, it is still an amazing and beautiful sight.
If you would like to see more – the album “ May 11 2017 Autumn Colours at Buchan Caves Reserve” can be viewed via the link.

Wonderful Wildlife–East Gippsland
Storm clouds gathering over Lake Tyers
Love our resident Pelicans!
And always great to see Royal Spoonbills as well, with their long graceful legs.
Just love these huge birds, each with it’s own personality and quirks, they are always fun to watch, especially when they are preening! Amazing what they can do with their beaks!

East Gippsland Field Days
We attended the East Gippsland Field Days event at Bairnsdale Airport today, as we have for the last four or so years. We felt that this year was much improved, with more seating, more displays and better laid out in the area. We totally enjoyed the day!
Last time we had trouble finding somewhere to sit down to have a coffee and food, but this year there were seats strategically placed around the area, providing plenty of seating. Nagle College band were playing, so we sat and had our lunch and spent an enjoyable half hour listening to the students enjoy their music. There were plenty of toilets placed around the whole area, and they were clean and well stocked with necessities! If you have some time tomorrow, I highly recommend taking the family out for the day. Well done to organisers and everyone involved, was a very enjoyable day.
The highlight for me was seeing the camels. They are amazing creatures, and they were all lined up waiting so patiently for whatever might happen next. See their Facebook page for details Australian Camels.

April 24, 2017 Metung the beautiful
Lovely afternoon tea today at Metung, Coffee and Cakes bought from “The Smiling Chef” and enjoyed by the water. Just love going to The Smiling Chef, staff are always friendly, service is prompt and food and coffee are excellent. Make sure you check them out next time you are in Metung.
It is so nice to sit on the seats at the water’s edge and watch the boats and the people coming and going, always something happening!
Paradise for all kinds of marine life, including the common Sea Gull. This one was “fishing” right near us, and every now and then fluffed himself up and “screeched” as though there were competition for the food he was finding, despite the fact that he was the only bird in sight!
Two Magpies came to see what we were eating and if there might be any crumbs for them.
As we were sitting enjoying the sunshine, the clouds came over, providing some amazing formations, but making the air quite chilly!
Metung, always a very special place to visit!
