Got up earlier than our normal Sunday morning, took a shower then went to St Benedicts Church at Burwood to hear the mass.
We had been busy the last few weekends with house work. Today is sunny Sunday, 21deg. And since it's school holiday, we thought it would be perfect to go for a short trip.
Spring is in the air at the Glen where we had a quick lunch before driving south.
Our first stop was at Loy Yang Miners View lookout overlooking Loy Yang Power Station and coal mines.
Then followed by 30 mins to an hour scenic drive from Loy Yang to Tarra-National Park.
Bushwalking from visitor centre to Corrigan's suspension bridge & back. The bridge stretches through the rainforest canopy overlooking the fern gully on the forest floor.
Another 5 mins drive, then more fern gully nature walk for us, exploring the rainforest at Tarra Valley going to Cyathea Falls...
Just a short drive going south from Tarra Valley was Tarra falls. We didn't need a long walk for this one. It's very close to the road.
... bought a meat pie, sausage roll and a muffin from the gas station on our way back to Melbourne to fill our hungry tummy.
Thought of going to Hogs Breath Cafe to have dinner then we realised that we had our entertainment book with us.
Hence, we drove to a Thai restaurant at Glen Iris --- guess what... it's under renovation.
Drove to another Thai restaurant at Mount Waverley...and guess what again... they're closing earlier than normal and had started turning off the lights when we arrived... must be our lucky night!
I said, the next one would be the last..if still no good then we would go home and would just prepare dinner at home.. we drove to Vietnamese Restaurant somewhere at Syndal...and thanks!!! we're lucky this time :-) It was still open, good food... So the 3 of us went home satisfied at the end!
