Perfect Aussie setting - but a sad end to our holiday

Our Grampians holiday came to an abrupt end as my sister and I were struck down by a very nasty virus! We made the decision to come home Wednesday morning and we have both been in bed since. It is now Sunday! Hopefully today I will be able to spend some time in my lounge chair and try to catch up on what is happening on 365. I know I will be very slow in looking and commenting as I battle this bug :)

Take care Denise - look forward to when you are back to your best!

WoW! Something you just never, ever see on our side of the world!! Great shot and thanks for sharing. Now for the virus...hope you and your sis are back to normal ASAP! Not nice being sick.

Sorry to hear you are not well hope you both have a speedy recovery. Lovely capture of the kangaroos

Shame about the bug Denise. No fun being sick whilst on hols. Lovely capture

Lovely capture of the roos/wallabies ? Dr Grave recommends Bunderberg rum until all signs of infection are gone.If it doesn,t kill the infection at least you will feel no pain.!! lol

Ahhh I am sorry that your holiday was cut short! I hope you are feeling well soon! I have seen many kinds of animals congregated in people's yards but never imaged being over run by roos.
June 21st, 2015  
I hope that you will feel better soon.
June 21st, 2015  
Love this capture! Fun shot. Wish you and your sister a speedy recovery!

This is about as Australian as it can get! I hope your continue to heal quickly, Denise!

I'm SO very very sorry to hear your vacation came to an abrupt end like that...believe me, I empathize! I confess that reading, "...sad end..." I feared I'd read that someone had died! I guess you felt about that bad, but glad to hear you're on the mend.
We stayed in cabins in a place just this wonderful while visiting Oz! @skipt07 Yes, it really was just that surreal! We were near Pebbly Beach/Bateman's Bay...neither Ken nor I can recall the name, but we were in cabins like this. You know how I love animals... with only 2 steps to traverse to the flat porch, I was able to entice one to come inside! I MUST find those pictures...film photos at the time. That was about THE BEST vacation!!!

Denise, you poor thing. I hope you get better soon. However, this is a great photo and will hopefully bring happy memories.
June 21st, 2015  
What a great shot, but so sad to hear you had to cut your holiday short. Take care and just look after yourself. You will be well again before you know it.
June 21st, 2015  
Take care!

@gigiflower @tonydebont @terryliv @yeshanghai @janiskay Thanks all for your kind words and wishes to get better. I too hope I'm back to my normal self soon - although by many accounts it could take another week to beat this!
@susanalena @skipt07 @cejaanderson It was such an Aussie icon place to stay with the kangaroos ans cockatoos hanging around our cabin! Thanks for your well wishes too :)
@peterlgrave Thanks Dr Grave _ Oh I wish I could take your remedy :)
@Weezilou It's such an amazing place with the roos and cockatoos hanging around! I know O/S visitors must really love it. Thanks for your cncerns and we will mend eventually but there will be no rushing it we have been told!
@wendyfrost @bonsai @onewing Thanks for your concern and great comments on the photo. We did love the place and the owners were amazing when we left, and will give us a good deal when we return in spring :)

Oh Denise, that is no good, take as long as you need for a gentle and full recovery :)
June 21st, 2015  
That sounds like a VERY unpleasant way to ends a holiday :( What a shame. The Grampians are such a gorgeous part of Victoria. I just read your profile and see that you live in the equally beautiful area of Warrnambool though!! Lucky lady :)
As for the photo .... so many roos! and so close!! I don't think I've ever seen any quite so confident....
June 22nd, 2015  
Oh for goodness sake! I have never seen such a sight...makes me giggle! Sorry for your illness though....best wishes to you .
June 22nd, 2015  
What a fantastic shot. Fav. So sorry you've had to cut short your little break. That's rotten luck. Hopefully by the time I'm writing this you're feeling much better.
