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!

- @Cath62 We saw whales as well! Unfortunately they didn't breech so I couldn't get any worthwhile photos. We did the Hervey Bay Whale watching cruise and it was amazing.
- @Blossom1961 that’s a.great photo!
Wine Glass Bay is a beautiful part of the world. - Love that photo @Blossom1961. Thinking of whale watching in Harvey Bay Queensland in September.
- Lovely trip to Tassie. Hundreds of these beautiful creatures played chicken around the boat near Wineglass BayWineglass Bay
- Noisy buggers, aren't they? My brother has Curlews in his front yard in Darwin!
A worthy destination to go to following completion of your active treatment, @Cath62 .... I went to Norfolk Island - to a uke festival, with 10 buddies! - @jennyss the Curlews are just amazing. They are living in my parents place and my mum checks them every day.
Thanks @arpie, @June1952 and @FLClover Canarvan Gorge is somewhere I always wanted to go, so about 4 months after all my active treatment my husband and I drive about 900kms from Brisbane to go there. So beautiful and magical. Glad you enjoyed the photos. Here's a couple more photos from there. - hi @arpie
a little further north than you - at Kingscliff - a beautiful part of Australia.
I’ve put my kyak in there b4, let me know if you do venture up this way 🎣 🛶 xx - Absolutely gorgeous @Cath62 - what a stunning walk 😀 well done!
- Dear @Gumnut and @Cath62,
Beautiful beach and bush - thank you for posting. Cath, the Curlew is very well camouglaged! I was scrolling up, and couldn't see him at first - Stunning @Cath62, that place is mesmerising 💜
