It is truly amazing the colours out in nature, isn't it?! I think the team favourite was the talking Cockatoos - we looked pretty funny at times trying to get them to talk to us! There were also a couple of emus, and our personal fave, Lulu the kangaroo. She was old and very sweet looking (the only one of the three that came over to greet us!).
We had lunch at Riversands Vineyard with St. George RC club president Win. We all tasted some great wines before our cheese plates and scones/muffins/chocolate cakes came out. So delicious!! Thanks to Joy for giving us a great time there!
Next, we met up with Garth Shaw and Robert Buchan to go see the cotton crop being harvested at one of the local farms. We couldn't believe it! The cotton was harvested four rows at a time by a big machine, then poured into a container and compressed into huge blocks (the size of a transport truck trailer container). What a beautiful plant, with all the cotton "balls" all over it!
We now have time to relax and prepare for the club meeting tonight.
Big thanks to Susanna who keeps adding the appropriate photos to my posts!!
Until next time, Cheryl
