Had a lazy, late start to the day as the Cactus Garden didn’t open until 9 am.
What an amazing place. It was started in the 60s and is now run by the two sons of the original gardeners. It shows lots of love and dedication. 100s of different species including a few succulents. Had a chat and a laugh with the brothers after walking through the garden.

Then a visit to the Walk in mine shop for Maria, called into the Visitor Centre once again, a stop to top up with fuel and then back to the cottage for lunch. Saw a few locals on the roadside!

Helen and Maria then went for a walk down into the town to have a look at the murals painted on the walls around the place. The local artist, John Murray, painted them. Helen picked me up and we went to see his Art Gallery just down the road. Fascinating paintings.

Back to the cottage to do a bit more jigsaw and then we went down to a local cafe/restaurant for a hamburger dinner. The eaves of the building next door had been a nesting site for fairy martins.

We are going to try and leave about 5 tomorrow morning.
