Butterfly Creek

We last did this walk in 2008. This time we went in a different way, on the Muritai Park Track. On the way up are good views back across the harbour to Wellington.

There are some magnificent sections of bush

and convenient spots to stop for refreshment.

We are getting towards the end of spring so the garden is bursting forth in all its glory. Here are two examples of roses we have.

In family news, Jen is home from the UK. She is enjoying revisiting the haunts of her childhood and reverting to pixie mode.
We sampled the wares at our local Sprig & Fern hostelry.
Sam and Bex are back in Oz after a month in Indonesia. They are also helping to keep the craft beer industry in business. This is Little Creatures in Perth.
While they await employment they are travelling around the south west bit of Australia. They have bought a 4 litre six cylinder Holden station wagon. They call this tent home. At least the weather is mild and they haven’t met any dangerous wildlife yet.
