From North to South

After visting Far North Queensland, it was time to head south again. My next stop was Stoked Creations HQ in Lilydale, Vic - right of the edge of the beautiful Yarra Valley. As I emerged from my travel bag I could hear excitement everywhere - my arrival had been eagerly anticipated! The Stoked Creations crew loved my handbag (that I picked up from My Obsession Designs) and my cute new undies from Unique Babeez.

A 4WD adventure trip into the beautiful bush of the Yarra Vally had been planned for me during my stay. Unfortunately the little kidlets got sick and we had to cancel - such a pity because I was REALLY looking forward to that! I also missed out on visiting the wineries, day spas and a tour of the gorgeous Yarra Valley, as shortly after I arrived, the Stoked Creations crew were off the the beach - Dromana to be precise!

With some beautiful weather, we decided to make our first stop a skate park. Lynda was pretty impressed with the moves I pulled on my bike! I had forgotten my helmet, so instead of sticking around the skate park we decided to move to a slower pace and take a quick trip to Portsea. In the picture below I am looking at the view of Portsea Pier. In the background, in the very distance, you can see the Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry.

On our way back to the car we said good morning to a very prominent Australian Labour Party Minister out for a walk with his wife and daughter. We then headed to Sorrento for a quick cappuccino - just what I needed!

We also squeezed in some swimming at the beach, sand castles before the weather turned and it rained and rained and rained!! No problems though we still had a great time ... thanks to Lynda and her family for entertaining me for a couple of days in the Yarra Valley.
