Went back to John Murrays art gallery and just had to buy a couple of prints on canvas as well as an ordinary print that the man himself signed for us. Just love his work.Wandered about, bought some rubbish as well as anzacs and raspberry slice at the surprisingly big market and even went on an organised tour in the arvo, just for fun. It was the cheapie tour with the worlds loudest, most self opinionated guide (actually he might not be) who really wasn't fussed about the tour as there were only 4 on board his 20 seater bus and it was Sunday and all. Anyhow, despite hie and the Whiners, we had a good poke about some stuff we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise.
Finished the day with a coffee at the cafe d'wheels and then a good old noodle on the mullock heap at the info centre where, just last week, according to the guide, a lady found a squillion dollar opal etc etc. We found nothing but had a pleasant time anyhow, until it was too dark to see.
A few snaps i guess:

We visited the ridge with Alan a few years back and loved it. It was a stomping ground of Maureen's childhood. We found a couple of nice pieces on the mullock heap and also bought a John Murray. Our visit to the spa was after midnight on a stunning starlit New Years Eve.
