It had been 3 years since Beverley had been back to Australia and only 6 months since Ross' last trip. So it was a wonderful opportunity to spend some time with our very dear friends. This is part of our Jerra gang. The reason for the name is we all live in Jerrabomberra, New South Wales and John, Debbie and Ric are very special friends to us. Weekly we used to frequent the Jerra Fine Asian Cusine Restaurant located at the Jerra Shopping center and so it was just like old time sharing a great meal with wonderful friends.
As you can see the food is fabulous and goes well with a good Australia red.
We also took the opportunity to visit with friends who live in Bathurst and travelled there via Cowra ( both great country towns on the central slopes and plains of NSW)
Cowra is a typical Australian country town with great pubs and wide streets.
Between Bathurst and Cowra is a small town called Mandurama which host a typical Australian early 1900's pub.
Bathurst itself is dotted with grand homes.
We enjoyed a great eveing with Peter, Jenny and Saha the much love pooch. Ross and Peter are very old school chums and have known each other since early primary school. Jenny is a very good cook and artist and we have packed in amongst our stored furniture back in Australia a portrait of us both painted and gifted to us by Jenny.
It is winter is Australia however the countryside remains lush so lots of good food for the many cattle and sheep who graze in these areas.
The Australia Gum tree is everywhere one looks.
It was so nice to return to the place where Ross grew up and to spend time with Pete and Jenny in Bathurst and in Canberra with our dear Jerra gang.
We have some more shots to post in Pt.2
Cheers Ross and Bev
