South Australia and Victoria

After crossing the Nullabor we drove on through South Australia.

Beautiful silo art in South Australia

Whoops.  The reindeer lost Santa down the chimney

Granite sculpture 'The Australian Farmer' at Wudinna, South Australia, and a beautiful sculpture of a roo, made from bark, at the same place.

From SA we made our way to friends near Swan Hill in Victoria.  They treated us to a roast dinner, cooked over the camp fire on the banks of the Murray River

And onward to Bendigo

The Bendigo Art Gallery had an exhibition of theatrical costumes designed by Edith Head.  She was the woman behind many of the outfits worn in Hollywood movies.

"A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to prove you're a lady."

And off on the ferry from Melbourne to Tasmania.  The crossing takes 10 hours, and I was VERY grateful for smooth sailing the whole way
