On Our Walks
A while back there was a lovely thread of sunrises that the early risers among us posted. I loved it, so I thought I'd broaden it to a thread for all the lovely sights we see as we do our slow staggers through chemo, or those walks we take after active treatment has finished and we're trying to get our strength and fitness back.
In Melbourne today the weather was sunny, still and mild; perfect for a walk. I have followed my GP to a small town in the Yarra Valley (a good GP is worth the 30 minute drive I reckon), and right outside her surgery is the start of a beautifully laid out walking track. It's 7kms long and I've been keen to explore it. So today I walked halfway along it and back. At over 7kms it was the longest walk I've done since the day before chemo!

- Beautiful little birds seen on my walk today after the rain stopped
Grey Fantails, Double-barred Finches and Yellow-rumped Thornbills. These birds often fly and forage together. I have to admit; the photos were not taken by me! - @Caz1, they are Tassie Black Bream .... and they tasted lovely coated in Panko crumbs and pan fried! I was able to leave 2 with my friends for future meals too,
I actually think they they tasted better than our usual Yellow fin Bream! - @arpie wow! What sort of fish are they?
- So ... I am in Tassie just now and looking for places to fish ..... and I find this lagoon with a footbridge to fish from ... or not!??
It Must have been built by an Irishman?
And some fish I’ve caught in the last 2 days there. :) - I walked around a wonderful 'show and shine' Classic Cars & Coffee event in Victoria Park in Dubbo this morning. Fords, Valiants, Morris Minor, VW beetle and Kombi, Mustangs, and lots of Holdens. Check out this lovely trio.
Best wishes to you all on your walks. - Hi @Giovanna_BCNA. Got home safely on 29 December. Holiday was enjoyable despite the weather. Just trying to cope with the Brissie summer swelter now.
- Hello @KarynJ stay safe and look after you!
- On my walk this morning I had a lovely surprise when a big echidna started to waddle across the road in front of me. When she saw me she tried to hide in a very sparse clump of grass.
Best wishes to all from jennyss in Western NSW - My walk this morning wasn't anywhere glamorous but it was early (beating the heat), and the streets were empty and quite pretty, so here's one for the glories of the suburban walk.
- Oh no, @KarynJ ... stay safe!
Wonderful to see you at the beach @Sister .. enjoy xx
