Studley Park Boathouse

Yarra Bend Park was the ideal place for a bit of urban nature study during our trip to Melbourne last week.

We took a pleasant stroll along the Yarra River to see the water birds...



oh - and a peewee...

and then retreated from the cold into the Studley Park Boathouse for a Raspberry Spider. (Are these Australian, or do you have them in other places as well?)

Of course, once there it was easy to talk us into lunch...it was 2:30pm, after all...

Suddenly Jemimah realised that she'd swallowed her olive pip...oops!

Gotta love the city!!

I'd love you to leave me a message. Tell me what you like - and what you don't. Just remember that this is what we do in our family - it doesn't have to be what you do in yours...
