We packed up in showers which quickly cleared, and made our way to Melbourne. Today's entertainment was to fing the Embroidery Den at Highett where I have been ordering Paternayan yarn for longstitch embroidery. It was an easy place to find - easier seeing there was a parking area associated with the library just across the road! I have now chosen the colours for my next long stitch tapistry - the sound shapes I use for early music classes need their own dedicated bag!
From Highett we went down the coast south east along Port Phiilip Bay to catch the ferry from Sorrento across to Queenscliff. It was not a cheap ride but saved us considerable time seeing I was determined to get to Highett.
We had a short stop at Queenscliff, then it was less than 1 and a half hours to Bill's cousin Dierdre's place at Fairhaven, just south of Airey's Inlet. It was an incredibly hot humid day - worthy of a normal Brisbane summer's day! We caught up with grand - neices we have never yet met. We walked along the beach with the dogs, who were delighted to be off a lead for once. We had dinner out at the local hotel for not too much!
The weather forcasts are not good. Seems we have brought tropical air down south to Victoria and the weather bureau is anxious about some areas getting way too much rain. Seems the same weather patterns that flooded Brisbane are also affecting us 2000 kilometres away!
