Adelaide

So suddenly, after a three week break where I was sidelined with a stress fracture in my lower back, here I am standing at the stage door of the Adelaide Festival Centre looking at the River Torrens for the first time in twelve years.

Here's Euan standing in front of the GINORMOUS poster outside the theatre.

Et moi.

A couple of our boys went overseas during the break and returned a little more tanned than the others...

And the adventure continues.

Opening night was our 200th performance!!

Today was the first time I got to walk around the CBD and take in some of the street art.

and, tucked away in a little side street, the Queen's Theatre, which operated between 1841 and 1868.

Hydro Majestic

The Hydro Majestic Hotel in Medlow Bath up in the Blue Mountains has undergone an extensive renovation to return it to its former glory and we enjoyed a lovely lunch in one of the dining rooms. Although I probably could have spent most of the day browsing in the gift shop.

The gift shop!!

Below is a little stage which now lives in the gift shop as a display area.

Little Bay

My favorite new hideaway

This little suburb is SO quiet it feels like you're under a dome.

The local senior centre encourages artistic and spiritual pursuits. I'm guessing there is a large senior population here.

Then the tiny beach reveals itself at the bottom of a few wooden steps

This rock has a face like a snooty butler.

I brought TT along on my second visit.

But he foolishly went exploring this Hanging Rock and was never seen again. MIRANDAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
