Off to Scrub Stitchin'...Day 5...Tooraweenah

If I'm in Tooraweenah it can only mean one thing...Scrub Stitchin' is not far away...another roaming curtailed by the diesel situation day but it was actually a really good thing...I just spent the day going for a walk...up to the viewing platform where I can get mobile reception...
 
Murals on the toilet block at the park...
The Returned Soldier sculpture at the Viewing Platform...
...played in the sunshine with the camera along the way taking lots of random pics of birds and trees and of course...the Warrambungles (from the Viewing Platform)...
...before heading back to the cabin and setting up a sewing station to keep basting lots and lots and lots of EPP diamonds and hexies on to the borders of Alice. Got them all on, worth the prep so it's ready to pick up and stitch without worrying about placement or pieces falling off.  A very productive day really.  A walk over to the pub to order takeaway for tea (a whole 5 minutes not rushing), a walk back 1/2 hour later to pick it up and the day was done.  Pretty productive really but quite relaxing...ready for...

One More Sleep!
 
Happy Stitching

Scrub Stitchin' Early Exit...Tooraweenah

Scrub Stitchin' ended abruptly for me Saturday morning, along with my plans for after Scrub Stitchin' which included more silo hunting and visiting my friends in the ACT.  My annual leave turned into sick leave and that's it for me for holidays for a long time, certainly I doubt I'll be able to have any more attempts this year.

When I felt up to going for a wander around where I was hunkered down until I was well enough to drive I checked out the murals around the place...a very geographically limited version of silo/public art hunting! ha ha ha...setting out from my temporary home and its cheerful emu logo...
The sites are marked with cheerful emu too...
Murals decorating walls and fences...
 ...and garden sculptures...
If I had to be stuck anywhere I have to say Tooraweenah wasn't too shabby an environment to have to put up with...

Happy stitching...
