After so much travel this month, we decided to stay a little closer to home these last few weeks.

Last weekend we took a quick trip to Bendigo so Mom could pick up one last haul of her favorite yarn from the woollen mill there. How will she ever live so far away from her favorite yarn outlet? (Sniff, sniff).

With the scorching temperatures of summer behind us, the botanical gardens in Bendigo were full of color. Hard believe it was eight months ago that we were taking pictures in this exact spot when Grandma and Grandpa Maki were visiting.

Same spot, September 2008

We also took an evening drive up to Ulupna Island last weekend in search of koalas. As usual, there were plenty cute little critters to be seen.

Zach got very good at spotting koalas and kangaroos and seemed to understand what they were (just like his stuffed animals of course!).

The sunset that night was classic Australian bush.
