| Hunter Valley |
I've been offline for awhile now - having relaxed, watched soccer, and squeezed in the school holidays.
With the kids we did a bit of this (Hunter Snowtime)
and a bit of that (Airlie beach).
 |
| Hideaway Bay |
Plenty of beaches, boats and snorkeling.
 |
| White Haven Beach |
Under duress we took in a bit of art (at Carriageworks),
renewed our membership at the Powerhouse (please don't move it!)
and even a High tea at the QVB.
See more on Instagram! Gotta Love this Country! What have you been up to?
Linking with #DND as there was a fair bit of exceptional Australian nature in those holidays (Note Heart Reef below is natural, not man made)....and #TimelessThursdays as it feels so very long ago. (and Tom's TimelessThursdays)
Every year I miss the winter wonderland at Hunter Valley - you'll have to remind me next year :) Looks like you've had very happy holibobs, I could totally get on board with that high tea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. White Haven beach is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThose beaches are so beautiful. Its cold in my part of the world now. I crave warm beach weather.
ReplyDeleteYou amazed me with your holiday snaps!! Loved them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up for #lifethisweek. Next week's optional prompt is "If I Could" Denyse x
Wow, a little something for everybody! Great images. I know that time away from blogging is necessary every now and then.

ReplyDeleteBucket list for sure!

What a fabulous holiday. I love love love the carousel shot. And the beach shots are totally dreamy with that blue sea and white sand. Thank you for sharing with us on #PointShoot 📸
ReplyDeleteSome fabulous pics there. Whitehaven Beach looks every bit as awesome as I've imagined it to be. As an aside, when we lived in Castle Hill, we were always hoping they'd move the Powerhouse to the overflow site at the TAFE there...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fantastic holiday!
ReplyDeleteWow you've been doing and going to some fabulous places Lydia! I've been to whitehaven beach. What a slice of paradise it is! :-) #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteSo much territory covered, Lydia! Thanks for sharing it all with us. I've never been to Whitehaven myself either.

You certainly have been getting around. The Whitsundays would have been the perfect winter escape for you. #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics! We have had a heatwave in the UK and are not used to these blue skies! Thanks for linking up with #globalblogging
ReplyDeleteI really love that carousel pic - it's gorgeous and the art with the red flame picture where you're sitting on the striped surface just looks amazing - though could screw with my mind a little! #teamlovinlife
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that island it looks like a heart #PointShoot
ReplyDeleteI feel like you only just did Winter Wonderland in the Hunter. Must have been last year? Time flies. I looked at Airlie Beach when I booked our Port D trip. Port D won out in the end. Perhaps we'll do Airlie next time :)
ReplyDeleteOK, you've convinced me, I want to go to Australia, Lydia! Hang on I AM HERE! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in the Travel Tuesday meme!
Australia - my second home. Love those roos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...
ReplyDeleteA wonderful and varied tourist edition of snaps!!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, I love the kangaroo and beaches. Take care, have a happy day!
A collection of very beautiful places and experience! I would so love to see a Kangaroo someday but no matter how cute it is I'll keep my distance because it might punch me (is it true that they punch people?)
