Hi there everyone,

So my apologies to everyone as I have been a bit hit and miss on Hive over the past couple weeks unfortunately- mainly due to work and xmas travel preparations and so my walk for this #WednesdayWalk post was as much of a geographical transition- as we are about to transition from one year to another in a couple of days- 2021 to 2022 with hope that this coming year and beyond will be so much better than the previous years.
So I started off at Southern Cross Station in Melbourne, from Victoria- one state of Australia, then north, 9 hours later walking through the back paddock of my family home in NSW- another state of Australia.
On the coach, about 6 hours into the journey, we stop briefly at the historic Genoa Hotel Motel https://www.aussietowns.com.au/town/genoa-vic #haveyoubeenhere [//]:# (!pinmapple -37.480343 lat 149.664490 long the tiny TINY historic town of Genoa, Victoria d3scr) to drop off passengers to go the tiny tourist town of Mallacoota, now world renown for being the town that had to be rescued by navy ships during the xmas/NY 2010/2020 bushfires as the population had no way to leave town via the land as it was being burnt to the ground all around them.
This is the turnoff just a few metres from the Genoa hotel which goes to Mallacoota and it's not a great photo, but if you see the ridge of the hill top, still black from the bushfires that occurred here exactly 2 years ago.
We head north, past this river and tiny TINY town called Swan Reach.
We drive past these paddocks on this cold and rainy day full of cows.
Throughout the journey, I took numerous photos and video as the coach traveled along the Princess Hwy, through one of my favourite parts of Australia, capturing the bush by the side of the road- exactly 2 yrs after the most devastating bushfires in Australia and if I could get the videos off my phone to the computer here..... you would see, much of it is still black- and that’s both the ground and the trees, as the heat was so intense, it scorched the earth so badly, that nothing is growing back there yet.
You will also see that other parts of the bush are growing back, but slowly.
And finally get to my end destination to go for a late afternoon walk to stretch the cramped legs after 9hours of sitting on the train and coach walk with these 2 fur babies- Spike and Lilly.
And say hello to the local sheep (not ours)
And revel in the majesty of the beautiful, enchanting and incredible natural landscape in the back paddock
as I test out my new camera.
As I'm still waiting for the videos to upload from my phone to my computer...I'll finish my WednesdayWalk here by wishing you all- you, your family, friends and most importantly- all of the animals around the world to have a wonderful, warm, safe and amazing new year filled with an abundance of love, peace, harmony, good health, much happiness and success!
With love from Australia
