Sat 16 Nov 2013 - Queenscliff Lunch

The weather was good again today so Lynnie suggested that we go to Queenscliff for lunch. On the way we called in and met their son Jonathan, his wife Belinda and little boys, Owen and Zeek. 

There's a marina at Queenscliff and we sat outside in the sun and had delicious seafood for lunch, I had a whole snapper and the others had shrimp sandwiches.

When we got back, Pete showed us his restored GTS Monaro and also has 4 old tractors and another car to do up when he gets some free time.

We said ,"Goodbye", and set off for Ballarat, where Fiona and Peter live. 

Ballarat's a gracious old City, with lots of trees and parks. It was so lovely to see Fiona and Peter again and to visit them at their place. They took us up to the lookout and showed us some more pretty places on the way home.  On the lake were fishermen's boat cottages, a paddle steamer and a rowing course.  We went by Fiona's  beautiful workplace where she works as a physiotherapist.

Pete showed us round the Deutcher factory where he manufactures amazing mowers, chippers and also automated medical beds (some of which fold for convenience of moving and storage).

We enjoyed having a meal together and catching up on each other's news then, when it got late, we slept over in their spare room.
