After leaving Lightning Ridge, we needed to move fairly quickly to get back home and so many places along the way, we had to say, "next time"! Wellington is one of these places, not only do I have a great great, maybe even another great grandfather buried in the cemetery, we haven't explored the Wellington caves or enjoyed the beautiful rolling hills and countryside of this area. This sculpture is placed at the entrance to the Wellington Caves and Caravan Park, we only had one night here, but next time we will stay longer.
This is an amazing sculpture made of mosaics, tin wind chimes and other bits and pieces. The shapes are very organic and flow in weird and wonderful ways!
As we neared south, we started to face the cold weather and even faced rain! Out came the gumboots and the raincoats, Bonnie even had to put on her St Kilda raincoat!
We arrived at Orbost on Thursday 18 August and our Orbost Caravan Park was basically flooded with all the rain! Packing up and cleaning was a miserable time, there was no where to put things as we tried to strip down the van and make sure we remembered everything to take home! Our beautiful clean van that we had been able to clean previously was covered in mud and we had to pull down the pop top when it was wet. That will be a nice bit of mould to look forward to when we head off again!
Our drive home, thankfully was uneventful, we stopped off for a delicious morning tea at Stratford, our starting point for breakfast when we set out in June!
We arrived home to a beautiful clean house, lovely flowers and muffins prepared by our lovely house sitters, Hannah and Ky.
It is great to be home!
