That looks all very nice ! I would love to see the kangaroos, I think I have only seen them once in a zoo, but it's such a long time ago !
Tomorrow we are leaving for holidays, 10 days at the Garda Lake in Italy, as usual. Nothing exciting for me, lol ! I hope Internet connection works better than last year !
FANtastic!! Love the photos and the food and drink. Yummy. It looks like a marvelous place Jen.
Loved the pictures. The dinner looked great, too!
That was a nice looking meal in a wonderful atmosphere. I would loved to have been there with y'all.Peace
Imagine getting the Murray cod on your line. I'd die of fright. That restaurant reminds of the old wooden carriages we were in going to Toowoomba last year for the Carnival of the Flowers. Your dinner sure looked nice...I adore calamari!
Thats an interesting restaurant. Keep warm.
G'Day Dear Jan ~~ More great adventures. Loved the train restaurant and all your photos and look forward to the next lot. Glad
you had a win at Indoor Bowls,
Have a wonderful time in Melbourne.
And please wish Joanne a happy birthday. Enjoy all the fun and food
and the company. Take care, Jan,
Love, Merle.
G'day Jan, I've never seen the carriages restaurant at Swan Hill but there is a similar one at the Uldara? Lava Tubes near Atherton Tableland Qld.
As I type this, you will no doubt be having a good time with your family! We put some nice weather on just for you, in the Big Smoke this weekend, LOL.
Swan Hill photos brought back some pleasant memories, and make me realise just how many places Ken and I used to go to before we bought a house and were trapped forever more with a mortgage and no money to spend on travelling!
You see kangaroos and emus along the roads when you travel, we see moose and deer! lol That Carriages Restaurant is so awesome, the kind of place I would just love to eat at!!! I love anything that's out of the ordinary. lol Sounds like a wonderful time and I enjoyed reading the story of the giant Murray Cod.
Have a safe trip to Melbourne and make sure you take lots of pictures:-) Happy Birthday to Joanne, I'm so glad you're able to be with her to celebrate such a special birthday!! xoxo
The first kangaroo I saw when I visited Australia 4 years ago was a dead one by the side of the road, but happily I saw many more live ones during my month stay. That train restaurant looks like fun! And good food too.
Hi Jeanette,
I adore trains and that restaurant look like fun, and the food looked yummy too.

Hi Jen! Thanks for the lovely Australian photos! Thanks for your visit too. I came back today from my holiday.
The big fish is really funny and cute. Nice meal too. Great!!
Hi Jen!
We've never met, but I found your blog while googling Australia. I'm an American who visited your country 10 years ago. The first thing I did was take the Indian Pacific Railway from Sydney to Perth. I love your train pictures. I hope to ride on more trains in your beautiful country one day. Keep blogging. I enjoy your adventures!
