flinders street market | christmas grand bazaar
Our weekend at the Christmas Grand Bazaar was a huge success - in fact the organisers did an amazing job & I'm pretty sure the bazaar was a success for all involved.
We were very happy with our stall set-up, the weather was lovely, the customers were plentiful & there was an enormous selection of interesting stalls to browse. Also, good coffee, lovely food & amazing people...basically a wonderful weekend all round.

the great ocean road | sisters head east
We spent a day travelling from Mt Gambier across the border & along the Great Ocean Road to Apollo Bay, stopping at as many of the attractions/scenic lookouts as we felt we had time for.
It was - to say the least - absolutely spectacular. The ocean looked so vast & wild & blue, all crashing waves, tall cliffs & wild winds - the coastline we're used to is much closer & tamer-looking. The drive itself was filled with interesting scenery (winding is an understatement) & when the road veered away from the ocean, the forest & farmland was just a beautiful & spectacular.
We marvelled from high lookout points, descended & ascended lots of steps (luckily they are generally in pretty good condition), had fish & chips on the beach at Pt Campbell (& got splashed), walked on the beach at Loch Ard Gorge & Gibson Steps & took a few photos - more than any other day of the trip.
1. The Crags // 2. Bay of Islands // 3. The Grotto // 4. ocean blues // 5. Port Campbell // 6. Loch Ard Gorge // 7. Twelve Apostles // 8. Gibson Steps

preparations...
...for the Grand Christmas Bazaar - or at least for our little corner of it.
We've been busy making stock, taking photos, printing labels & tags, working on our stall layout(s), planning, trying to think of all the things we could possibly need, getting together some decorations (can't have a Christmas market stall without at least a little tinsel)...
