Hosting My Philadelphia Cousins

Monday: I took the girls to the “National Wool Museum” which is here in Geelong, but firstly they came with me to ‘visit’ Carole at the Geelong West cemetery (flowers for Carole’s birthday) …

Happy birthday Carole … Wool Museum, the girls up on the historic Auctioneer’s podium.

The girls, Terri and Maureen, shopping in the Museum’s souvenir shop

Tuesday: We toured the Bellarine Peninsula

Queenscliff: … the fascinating old buildings, The Grand Hotel, The Post Office, and the Library

Queenscliff: The girls found the old style shops very interesting

Queenscliff: An intriguing shop courtyard.

Queenscliff: the waterfront

Point Lonsdale: The lighthouse at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, called the “Rip”, the pier and bay beyond, and the infamous “Rip”.

Ocean Grove: From the promenade looking toward “The Bluff” at Barwon Heads… Frankie, Maureen, and Terri.

Ocean Grove: The surf beach, looking back toward Point Lonsdale … surf was up with lots of board riders.

Barwon Heads: From “The Bluff” lookout, L-R – overlooking the Victoria Park camping area, – looking across the Barwon River toward Ocean Grove, – looking down at the mouth of the Barwon River.

Time to head home … and at 7.30pm we enjoyed a wine and Barbeque dinner, relaxing under my courtyard Verandah…

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  7. What a busy visit! How fun, Ivor! Frankie made friends easily. He is a charmer! ❤ Beautiful photos of fascinating places. Glad you and your family had a good time and got to spend time together!

    The birthday flowers are a gorgeous tribute to Carole. ❤
