Westbound and down.

We stopped by a lake at St Arnaud on our way west. There were the usual posse of ducks working people over. But the jetty was the eels' turf and aint no one messin wid the eels.
Stop. Cherry time.
The next morning. This morning, we had a look at a fur seal collony just near Westport where we stayed.
I keep telling folks that Greymouth hasn't got anything going for it. How wrong was I?
$23 for a six beer tasting tray. I expected half glasses. How also wrong was I. Shannon's turn to drive.
A bridge that I also remember getting a photo of 12 years ago.

    Road trip!!! Love it. Cool day of wildlife. Do those eels look hungry? Yeah, they look hungry......better count your toes Olivia.

    That seal looks like a young ‘un. Hopefully you get to see a few frolicking in some pools.

    I do like myself a Monteiths (or 6???). Does Daddy have a favourite? Can he remember? Good to see even Greymouth has a few surprises left for you.

    And how good were those cherries, Olivia? A couple of those might take care of that wobbly tooth for you?!

    PS: Stop. Cherry time? Do, do do do....do-do, do-do.....

      Didn't feel a thing. I did wake up suddenly at 1am though. Not sure what time it was.

Cherry picking

Image
Picking cherries on the way back west. We also stopped in at a couple of wineries and a brewery.   There were so many rows of nice looking cherries that we only managed to move about 20 meters before we were done. It was a 6kg bucket if filled but we decided not to do that. I guessed that we had picked about 620g. Shannon guessed 720g. The right answer (and closest to mine) was 570g.   When we got to Westport, we downed the cherries and they were damn good. Oh, and the Rose B (the Rose from the 2nd winery) was also very easy to drink. Oh and the beers from the Moa brewery. The most amazing thing about the day was that the temperature gauge on the car was up to 32 degrees. Actually hotter than Brisbane. I hope that all of the snow isn't melted from the tops of the mountains down south. I want to try out the crampons and ice axe.
