Yaralla Estate is one of those places. The main gates are closed on weekends which gives the impression that public access is prohibited. Leave the car outside and you're welcome to stroll through one of the little side gates. The house itself is impressive enough, but the surrounding property is Whoa! Before you know it, you're standing on a manicured lawn admiring trimmed hedges, rose bushes, fountains, green arches and white rabbits. OK, made that last bit up... but it wouldn't surprise me :) Our favourite spot is further down the hill - the place where above-ground caves meet mud flats rippling with crabs and oyster-clad rocks. The oysters in these waters are huge and look tasty, but are generally not safe to eat...so good for a dare, perhaps?
Anyhow, here are a couple of photos from today's outing. Do you have a special weekend spot you like to visit?
