bridge of nightmares...

This is the bridge of my nightmares - over the Goulburn River at Seymour. As a kid going to Melbourne by car it was fraught with danger - the old Morris Oxford breaking down in heaps of mud at Avenel, trees falling over the car in a storm, the obligatory stop at the Kalkallo Pub, and not to mention the impatience brewed over a cold three plus hour drive. As a result I dreamt about it - and this was the bridge pivotal to nightmares. The bridge was always falling behind me as the car tried desperately to get to the other side. Eventually after many fitful sleeps I willed the car to the other side and bingo the dream ceased. Looking at the bridge today is it any wonder I had nightmares.

The HISTORY - the bridge was built in the late 1800's and ceased as a Hume Highway Bridge in 1967. If it wasn't for steel girders I am sure it would be on the bottom of the river!

my first quilt...

I have joined the ladies - well sort of - I made all the centre squares - the tricky ones with triangles. The recipient was our friend Liz who had a big birthday back in July but we only managed to catch up last Sunday. The other fairy that completed the task was Maree...

I noticed these growths on an old tree when walking around Benalla Lake. Some of the fungus was growing up the cracks in the bark making the tree look like it was smouldering - thought it was very pretty...

woods point petrol station...

How amazing is this? And it still works. I am not sure that it is self service but payment is made at the general store opposite. There was a wonderful range of memorabilia scattered around.

... and it sells diesel, leaded AND premium unleaded petrol!

How beautiful...

Just love my new camera - we are getting closely acquainted!

Help...

I am unable to upload photos at the moment. What can I do? It suggests I ask Blog support, but can't find where that is...
