Day 12: market and Mt Stuart

 While Dean and Jenny ran errands they dropped me off at the farmers market. It was small and cute, but there were musicians and lots of artsy booths that I meandered around. I had some fresh sugar cane juice and slowly meandered my way back to their house. On the walk back I saw a family of plovers, and got dive bombed by the parents as I took a picture of this tiny little chick just a few inches long. So cute and tiny. 

Of course, we had to feed the magpies, when they came in the house to let us know it was feeding time. 

In the afternoon Dean and I went on a driving tour of the city, with me driving, so I could get used to driving on the left side of the road. I wandered up to the top of Mt Stuart which looks over the entire town. It was a stunning view and a stunning drive meandering among the eucalyptus trees and the beautiful yellow grasses of the day season. 

At the top of the hill I saw my second species of wallaby, a rock wallaby! It was smaller than the other, only maybe a foot or so tall. 

We toured around town and Dean told me all about the cool architecture and the building and the history of them all. It’s great to have a personal tour guide. 

In the evening we ate well and relaxed and hung out.
