A Day In The A Blue Mountains.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I welcome you to take your time and browse , visiting my bush garden and discovering the wonders of my city within a national park; Blue Mountains National Park. Via my blog you will travel with me through the successes, trials and tribulations of gardening on a bush block. I share with you my patchwork & quilting, knitting, paper crafts, cooking and life in general.

Blue Mountains Bicentenary 1813-2013

The month of May 2013 marks the 200th anniversary of the crossing of the Blue Mountains by the explorers Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson.
The crossing commenced forty five kilometres away at the Nepean River and followed the mountain ridge line for seventy five kilometres.
Today, descendants of the three explorers flew over the mountains in Australia's largest ever civilian flyover.




















As you can see we've been blessed with glorious weather.

    1. Thanks Robyn. I think most of the planes took off from Richmond but rumour has it they were flying quite high except over selected viewing points. Too many regulations to be observed these days.
