Looking at the Summer Palace from the land side. Huge grounds, elabrate plantings and water used in ponds, fountains and waterways, an amazing place whether inside or outside.

Looking back at the Summer Palace from near the Bay of Finland. You can see the fountains at the foot of the steps in the far distance and smaller fountains lining the waterway towards the palace.

Melted pools of water and large cracks in the surface of the ice over the lake are signs of the impending thaw up in the Artic.

Around the edges of the frozen lakes where the ice is thinner small pools of water are coming into existence.

Reflection 2

Still on the same day, after leaving the Black Stump Way I joined the Castlereagh Highway through to Gulgong an old gold mining town west of the Blue Mountains from Sydney. I would love to stop here one day and walk the streets, there is so much history here (for Australia anyway 1840’s to1860’s there abouts). The streets were very narrow and bendy for 2-way traffic and with The Little House in tow quite a challenge to navigate. Didn’t find the caravan park so pushed on to Mudgee a big wine growing area and very popular with people from Sydney for weekends. It’s only three and a half hours away.

Stayed in Mudgee overnight at the Riverside CP which is right in town and handy to everything including the river walk which Flair thoroughly enjoyed after 8 hours in the car.

The next day was only 50km the long way – through Lue and Rylstone to Cudgegong State Park on Lake Windamere (Windamere Dam).

As the sun rose slightly higher the snowy Southern Alps became the highlight with the inlets of Lake Wanaka still in shadow.

A different direction and the clouds are catching the pink light with the Lake very much in shadow.
