Maybe you know this statue, it´s kinda reassuring those visiting Pinarroo Valley Memorial Park (cemetery).
I wanted to visit this place since Grace and Sami described it as beautiful and when cool - rather early or late - there are kangaroos all over.
It was cool yesterday.
Yes, this is a cemetery - beautiful, no?
This sight of a graveyard you won´t find in Germany, not allowed.
Or even this!
Yesterday five years ago our Mum lost her fight against cancer.
It was the right day to go to this place yesterday.
They even give Christmas Crackers to their loved ones....
Swimming in the lakes and ponds is not allowed (there is a sign even!), yet we found these...
Cause... must´ve happened, peeps fall in, no wonder!
When we came around this corner we really weren´t sure.
That´s not... is it? No, can´t be!!!
That´s not a barbie-area, no?!
Phew, no!
The more expensive ones.
Guess Aussies have some humor, no?
So many ways to put up your loved ones.
We saw just the dates, creative backgrounds, pictures... I liked this one:
We also saw ducks and birds and... roo-poo but no roos.
I said to Ingo, aww, well, we know how roos look like, huh, and Ingo added, "and taste like" - true, matey!
Mum sure´d loved this one.
As long as you´re in our hearts and minds you´re still around, Mum, I miss ya.
Wish we had such cemeteries to enjoy back home.
Five years.
And a day, you would add, ha-ha.

I guess for you it's already the new year, Iris. Happy New Year!
Thank you, to you, too, Revrunner, Happy New Year!
How sad you didn't see the Roos. I went there yesterday with the family for a quick visit and we found some, mainly small ones, but not as many as in previous years.
It was a fitting visit to celebrate your Mom. Xxx
Wow, lucky you then.
Yes, thank you this really is a place to celebrate the life that was, rather than mourning over the loss. Xxx
