And across the road from the Anglican St. Andrews is the Uniting Church st. Andrews.

I like walking around old cemeteries.
.
.
.
.

And a fellow who died in the USA and in just under 5 months was buried here.

Coming back to the centre of Evandale.
.
.

Many properties have been sub divided.Quite a few long driveways.I wonder what is at the end of the drive.

The last of my tour of Evandale.First a statue of a local hero Harry Murray VC.Born near Evandale and then moved to WA.After the war he moved to QLD.And another reminder of the small world we live in.His great mate after enlistment was Percy Black who is a forebear of mrsdrron through her mother.I used to talk to my MIL about them on a few occasions.

On the Tuesday it was a sunny afternoon so I had a walk around an abandoned school site where I know there have been several species of terrestial orchids.Not a lot flowering as yet.
.
.
.
.
.

 

[drron]

But quite a bit of other flora.
.
.
.

And the Tasmanian native cherry with some early fruit.
.
.
..

[drron]

My curries basically don't plate up well but are delicious.My miso marinated veggies also tast good but a little more photogenic.
..

Washed down with a Winstead Block 16 Merlot.OK but there Pinot Noir is much better.

On the Saturday I headed to the North west to visit old haunts.Began with Burnie and some of the old buildings on the hill overlooking their oval and port.Had never ventured there in my times in Burnie.
.
.
.
.
.
.

And their views.
.

 

[drron]

Continued up the hill but the homes got smaller and not as grand.But a great view.
.
.
.

And some were full of junk.
.

Continuing on a mixture of styles.
.
.

I now planned to go to Wynyard and do the Inglis river walk.But checked the phone first and on the BOM radar heavy rain was about to hit Wynyard so turned for home.
Detoured via Brady's lookout as I thought I may get some good cloud photos.Certainly lots of clouds but I didn't quite miss the rain.
.
.
.
The Forth river.
.

And passed a place in a recent TR.The name seems familiar.

I think drron has lost the plot

 

[JohnM]

Just on board with this one.

 

[mrs.dr.ron]

I think drron has lost the plot

He never had one in the first place !

 

[drron]

Then I went to the orchid reserve outside Latrobe next.Signs of orchids but no flowers.Lots of other spring flowers..
.
.
.
.
.
..
.
.

And the native cherries have started to fruit.
.

Before setting out on the walk I checked the radar.Thought I would be back at the car before the next rain band hit.I wasn't and got drenched.A couple of shots driving back to Lonnie.A nice specimen of a powton tree.
.
.

.

Quamby bluff.
.

 

[drron]

Before returning I had a very late lunch at Belly's Grill in Latrobe.Always good comfort food.This time their seafood chowder then crumbed scallops.
..

 

[drron]

Thursday and out to the airport.Waited a little down the road towards Evandale.Quite a large new vineyard.
.

And I don't think I have ever been so happy to see a JQ plane land.Mrsdrron flies into LST to join me for 3 weeks.
.

Now a lot of the time with mrsdrron will be spent in restaurants.She has arule that there is no cooking when she is away from home.The first night was at a favourite of ours Kosaten.A sushi train type set up but with nice food.So to start we order the wine first.A Japanese sounding name but a Griffith Pinot Grigio.Easy drinking.
.

As nearly always we each started with a plate each of salmon sahimi then tempura oysters.
.
.

Then we had the tempura prawns for the first time.They were really good.
.

Then shared 2 dishes that fortunately both have 2 serves on the plate.Miso roasted eggplant and miso marinated lamb cutlets.We virtually always have at least one of these 2.
