Today I took three hitchhikers for a wander through the Terraced Gardens at Island Bend. Well there were once magnificent terraced gardens here anyway. NPs removed all the foreign flora from the area. I remember walking through here about 30 years ago and there were still lots of different plants here, predominantly Lupins which were taking over the place quite invasively. My three companions liked the old garden ruins so much they decided to stick around for a bit.

Skeletosaurus thought sitting under the garden seat was more to their liking than on it. When I last saw Fred they were trying to play hide and seek in a tree hollow. And Happy was happy they found something to work on with their sledgehammer- I last saw them near what may have once been a pond that really did need fixing if it was meant to be one.

I tried taking photos of them at the last spot I saw them, but they all seemed a little camera shy, hiding from me. I've attached the photo anyway just in case someone wants to befriend them and needs help finding them. They are clever little hiders!

Have fun in your future travels little buddies.

Ho ho hello. this gnome looks a little like Father Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, I left a couple of presents at the place I picked this up from. Not really presents, just 2 other moveable caches.

~~ Dropped Off ~~

Fred has found some accommodation in a small hotel at Robertson, not as warm and cosy as the accommodation he just left, but he is keen to get moving again.
Fred has taken a trip down to Wollongong in the car and back up the mountain again where he liked the view better and decided on a temporary stop.

Went for a motorbike ride to Berrima. My bike needed a battery maintenance charge session and brother was it hard to get started. lucky thete is a steep hill outside my house as a clutch start effort was needed. So I headed out to Berrima to seek out Fred. I had no Gps so had to engage some senses and quickly I had Fred in hand from a stump. Covered so well it was through a little gap I saw a tiny spot of red after moving some covering away. I cleaned him off and upside down he crawled into the front of my jacket and off we went back home. he was quite cosy cuddle up to my upper portions and is now sitting in the northern sun in the window. I will have to think about a good spot to place him.
