First of all, here he is. A photo of Red Dog the Pilbara wanderer. For overseas readers just google that and find out about the little red cattle dog. There is a great Aussie movie about him. He is now an icon in this country. We actually drove an extra 250 kms to get to take our photos because we promised our friend Feral Sheryl we would.

Snow
It got a lot colder than -4 here in Bathurst. There was actually snow in the village, a very rare thing. we missed the snow because we were in Sydney and coming home was slow because the roads were closed art several places in the Blue Mtns and beyond due to snow and ice. A leisurely brekkie in Glenbrook till the road opened at Katoomba; coffee in Blackheath until the road opened at Yetholme, then home through the snowy hills. I can send photos! it was never below 0 by the time we arrived but still pretty. You are currently in the country we travelled last year on the way to Derby. Very pleasant stuff. Last night we met a couple who lived for 2 years in Derby at the end of the last century (just thought i would get that phrase into this comment - not all that long ago really). Love Graham's shorts. Where are the sandals though?

HUH !!!
I have been looking for a companion for Chewie, but someone has beaten me to it. Hope they get on well or you could be in trouble. Spoke with John today. He wasn't too sure of the shop name we are trying to put the finger on for you. He did come up with Sheeds or Sheedy's, but no one is too certain. Enjoy the next week or so out of range. Hope the weather stays fine & you are able to give the new cameras a good workout. Cheers. Barbara

Chewie's Friends
His new friends belong to Richard and Gill. How about a little girl strawberry or a real person a cat? Maybe when Fray dies we can have her stuffed to travel with us.....
