The view when you first glimps, Wilsons Promentary National Park, always  takes my breath away.

Reg and I amd our two girls spent many wisits to Wilsons Prommentary, walking along the edge of Tidal river, loving the beautiful reflections of rocks and trees in the water.  I remember them loving Squeeky beach and the way your shoes made a squeeky sound as you walk on th sand there.

It's a little short notice but still worth the mention, some people may be in the area and able to get there.

'Secrets of the Sea'.

Find out all about the creatures that roam the land, sand and sea at Wilsons Promontory National Park.

I t is strange how fate can change things.  Buchan in Victoria is not just a place of beauty but a place of personal memories.  I sometimes wonder what would have happened in life if I had posted a card I wrote to a young man I was friends with, when I was visiting Buchan with my mother when I was nineteen.   I never did post it, I was far too shy to make the first move even though I liked the young man of 25, this man I first met and became friends with when I was 14 and he was 20.

It was another two years, before he wrote to me. Then there was a whirlwind courtship of love letters, a fast courtship and we were married five months laterJ.

We took our two daughters to holiday at Buchan; we have some wonderful family photos.

Yes Buchan is more than a place for us, J. Reg and I have been married for 42 years this May, what might have happened if I had been brave enough to post that card to him, two years earlier?

Helmets and lights are provided but sturdy footwear is required.
