To Craig's Hut with Steve & Lois

In our High Powered Machines...   ?  -
no, those are the Austin 7s we saw on the way -

Steve & Lois led a 4x4 convoy to
Mount Buller,
and the High Country,
3 hours drive north of Melbourne


It is what they are good at..


organising people...

It started as 3 vehicles...

Full of Salisbury's, Billie's, Harvey's

and Grahams/Morrison

But grew to 10 all up...

We met at the foot of Mount Buller

beside a cool stream

which was fun for the kids

Jessica and Gill...

Whilst all the adults caught up with the latest..

And the summit of Buller above glowed in the sunlight -

it's been quite warm for some weeks, now.

Then collect your radios

and "start your engines"...

Upwards, the track varied 

from where you competed with the Mountain Bike Race 

to where it was steep and rough - 

real 4x4 country

Steve was in his element

and Lois was in her car...

and we were getting near

to our destination...

Craig's Hut :

Real High Country

where horseman

are special

and Gill gets first in the queue

to pat his horse...

before he leads off...

down the track and

Lois & Linda get a photo-op..

Jessica and Jonathan in a Snow Gum

and camera-shy Steve 

is  caught between picnic groups...

Sandra and Agnes digest theirs, and the view

Having got up

to the High Country

it was time to go down..

Clive admires 

the Billies'

descent...

(at the quarry...  
- boys & toys ! )

and  

for Steve to say Farewell

to the "Man from Snowy River" ?

at the top 

of Mount Buller..

(Actually that was the winner of the local Sculpture Prize ! )

Nevertheless

although he will deny it...

Steve (& Lois) deserve a round of applause

from us all.
Thanks for a Great Day !

With the last 'gong' going to -  the girls, of course !
