Sunday 17 March to Sunday 24 March
Returning from Yamba on Sunday, we visited Frank's sister at Tweed Heads. It was St Patrick's Day and Mags provided a delicious Irish lunch of potato, bacon and cabbage, cooked to perfection. Very small guiness's as Frank was the driver.
Tuesday saw the Gaiter Girls walking at 6 am, beside the Albert River. Light rain had fallen overnight and the raindrops caught on plants and spider's webs, were glistening like diamonds. 15 km walked.
Further on, the wetlands were alive with birdlife and reflections.
Wednesday morning the Hungry Hikers travelled across Brisbane to Lake Samsonvale for a 10 km hike along its shoreline. After the stress of early morning commuter traffic, we quickly found ourselves relaxing in the peace and tranquilty of this parkland.
I am thrilled to write, that as of this afternoon, my donations have reached $3173! So wonderful to be able to help KICK CANCER'S BUTTE in this way!
Helen, you are doing so much good, for the society and yourself. And for us blog readers, it's very inspiring to read these posts. 👍🏻

ReplyDeleteIt has been a marvellous experience, Alexandra with amazing support from all March Chargers, via Facebook.
DeleteYou are amazing! I loved the photo of the spider web, and the vivid blues and greens of your scenic photos looked so different from our landscape that's just awakening to spring colors.
ReplyDeleteKim, as the weather cooled during March and the rain fell consistently, our countryside has looked stunning. So mauch to enjoy and apprciate as I have 'Charged".
DeleteWow, congrats on your March Charge. That's a wonderful achievement! Everything in your photos looks green, healthy, and so alive!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Peter.. Our photos are in total contrast. Your desert landscape images have a stark, dramatic beauty which I have come to love, through your camera lens.
DeleteImpressive walking distances and stunning scenery too. March has been good in your corner. B x
ReplyDeleteThank you. The first 2 weeks were hot and humid, but since then, the disappearance of the high humidity, made for very enjoyable walking. A huge thunder storm however, is about to descend on us as the temperature today was back to 32C.
DeleteCongratulations, you are doing a great job. The scenery is amazing!
ReplyDeleteA summer of regular rain has made everything green and lush. The coastal scenes were magnificent
DeleteI hear you guys have been getting a lot of rain lately. I am hoping some is falling on our Kandos garden this afternoon, it's still quite dry down here.
ReplyDeleteA nasty looking storm is about to hit us! The forecast is for a very wet end to the week, from a weather system coming from the south. I hope you benefit before it reaches us.
