Relaxing peace of mind.

Hello friends,
 Calling in while travelling our truly amazing countryside from Inverell.
 Enjoying being able to walk among the lovely tall Gum trees along the bush walking trails.

In this beautiful tranquil area is a place called Cranky Rock Natural Reserve, a lovely scenic peaceful haven found after some trecking in the middle of nowhere it feels like.
I have some photos I would like to share with you.

 Our Walking trail.
 Still walking along the trail here. Getting closer to our destination. Some golden Wattle trees in the bush as we pass look pretty against the huge granite rocks. The husbands walking ahead you can just see in the bottom left corner.

Here we are at Cranky Rock
We thought it was just beautiful arriveing to see this scene.
An ideal spot for some Fossicking in this river bed below.

Beautiful sapphires plus many other gems and minerals are found in the region. You need a couple of sieves something to dig with a bucket ,some gum boots and you are set up to fossick in the river bed amongst the stones for the gems. No such luck for us.

This is a quilt we saw on the wall at an Information Centre . Named the Moree Quilt by the quilting ladies at Moree for Australian Federation year.
I am working on a fun embroidery while away.So hope to have a finish before we arrive home.

Cute little Owls, 6 in all. Fun to sew.
We are enjoying beautiful Spring days and cold frosty nights and relaxed peace of mind during our travels.
 Happy sewing week to you all.

What a lovely spot Jen. It certainly does look peaceful, so hope you can spend a few days there. Love your little owl embroidery. Sorry I've been neglecting my blogs lately, days are going nowhere. Cheers.
