Gellibrand

from w
We had another lovely weekend in Colac, Saturday pastoral visiting and what a brave lot of men and women they are with aging difficulties. Church this morning with a warm welcome. We had a spare two hours yesterday so picked up delicious pizza slices etc. from Thwaites bakery and drove to Gellibrand 25 minutes away. Peceli kept saying - when are we gonna get there - and when we did - there were only half a dozen shops. It's the landscape that is marvellous in that area - huge trees in forests and rolling hills of cleared land with dairying and beef. We had our picnic at a designed rest spot where there were several cut tin sculptures that were celebrating the pioneers of the district.
