Eleanor at the Workshop.

Gerrard was working on this amazing looking car at his workshop.  I was lucky to have my camera at hand and took some photos.  I put my camera on artistic mode for a bit of fun.





















Awesome looking car.















































And some more from Bruny Island.

 

It was a chilly start to the day. 

We went for a walk along the beach and we saw this yacht in the distance.

A cluster of oyster shells.  You can see the sand all pitted from the rain.

We saw lots of little robins and were lucky to get a photo of one.


We went to the Bruny Hotel for lunch at Alonnah.


We started with a warming cider.


And a bowl of seafood chowder.  So yummy.


Gorgeous sunset that night.


Reflections of the sunset on the water.


Our accommodation all lit up.

More from Bruny Island.


Travelling around Bruny Island was good, 
we avoided the dirt roads as much as possible.


Rusty old tin shed.


The road to our accommodation was dirt and a bit bumpy.

There were lots of these toadstools.


Our accommodation was on Cemetery Road,

We bought chocolates at the Bruny Island Chocolate shop.
