South Gippsland 3

Because I was ill, I preferred to drive around the South Gippsland area rather than go into the city to socialize, so here are some more pics of Leongatha, Mirboo North and views along the Great Grange Road.







Mirboo North had a lovely little chocolate shop, all decked out for Christmas.



























Australia is known for it's dangerous spiders and snakes, but in 35 plus years of living there, the only dangerous thing I ever came across was a tiger snake hanging around the outside dunny (toilet) back in the Western district.

Below - Not Skippy, but a Wallaby. There are always plenty of warnings about taking care of crossing kangaroos. They can do your car alot of damage, as can wombats, although cars seem to do equal damage to them going by the wombat carcases on the road sides.
