Welly's Poker Run

We had camped at the showground on Friday night & were lucky enough to watch all the bikes & cars take off for the Welly's Poker run approx 250 of them.  Raising $$$ for Royal flying Doctor Service

They all left on a run down the coast stopping for morning tea, lunch at a pub & back to town for a party & live band in evening.  It poured down during the night so not sure what the outcome was or if the music went ahead

Robe -- Jan's birthday

After spending couple days in Kingston, mooched down the coast to another quaint seaside village. Time to celebrate Jan's 64th birthday. Pizza & couple glasses of wine sounds good.

Cape Dombey obelisk was built in 1853 as a navigational guide to assist entry to the bay.  The obelisk is in danger of disappearing into the sea, due to erosion of the limestone cliffs.  Council still deciding whether to save it or not, as it will cost heaps of $$$$$$$$$$ to save it

Natural bridge in rock that has been weathered over 1000's of years
