We're thinking of visiting again in autumn and/or spring. We noticed the lovely homes and gardens Alice mentioned, and we'd like to go back for a walking tour of them when Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456736523331076619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9619869.post-1136162252872116182006-01-02T11:37:00.000+11:002006-01-02T11:37:00.000+11:00Hmm, testing my "comments timing" now - but maybe ...Hmm, testing my "comments timing" now - but maybe it's just Queensland time that's out of whack, Jude!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456736523331076619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9619869.post-1136111980233904802006-01-01T21:39:00.000+11:002006-01-01T21:39:00.000+11:00Hi, Alice,Yes, I keep thinking, what if I hadn’t n...Hi, Alice,<BR/><BR/>Yes, I keep thinking, what if I hadn’t noticed that other track veering off on the map (I had read but just not acted on the written directions to follow the creek bed for a while to pick up the track we were meant to follow).
