| On Saturday I took a drive out to the You Yang Ranges. It's on the road to Geelong you just turn right at Little River. The area has rugged landscape and lots of low growing trees and rocky outcrops. |
 |
| A lovely little Lizard kept us entertained at lunch, don't know his species, but he was so well camoflaged you could hardly see him in the surrounding environment. |
 |
 |

 |
| It was a lovely day and a lovely country drive. |
 |
| At Nundle we came upon some Apple trees laden with fruit which had dropped sweet little Apples all over the ground. It was a perfect opportunity to pick a bag to take home to make Apple Pie. |
