At the end of the line


Mr SE and I took the train to the end of the line today...Up to the mountains or, to be precise the Dandenong ranges, near Mount Dandenong. He has been at home over the last few days as he had to have a minor operation on his elbow (caused by an old 'war wound' - not really - a leftover from a car accident he had in his early twenties). Anyway, I am pleased to say he is on the mend and apart from the wounded soldier sling he has to wear is feeling a bit better.


This was the view from the cafe where we stopped for lunch.

Just look at the colour of the leaves and the contrast with the blue of that sky... the mercury hit 19 degrees today - the perfect Autumn day.

  1. I love the villages in the Dandenongs. Do they still have beautiful afternoon teas?

  2. You and Mr SE seem to find so many wonderful things to do in Oz. I know your life is not one big vacation, but you always seem to maximize your "free" time so well. And of course are then kind enough to share. Thank you.
