Bluey survived his journey to South Australia from the Northern part of the country and immediately wanted to catch some rays.
Here he is meeting one of the locals, Kookaburra.
Next up Bluey eagerly accepted the invitation to help prune back the canna lilies.
He also helped chop them into the compost bin.
A little leisure time is planned for him to join the family on an outing over the weekend, although Bluey may be actively involved with other chores before then.

I cant believe Australia Post transported Bluey that far , that fast .
Hope he arrived OK and isnt jet lagged .

Apart from missing some sunshine Bluey is fine. He has spent the day around the yard and wants to come to work with me tomorrow arvo.

Great concept, great thread. Kudos to all who have participated thus far.
Bluey headed to the outskirts of Hahndorf a small town in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia.
After a long drive he decided to stretch out a bit and take in the view.
Laying down by the creek.
Enjoying some attention next an old swinging bridge
All this country air worked up an appetite, so off to Otto's for a pie.
Some Autumn/Winter colours.
Bluey was pretty keen to be handled by Nathan one of the respected young knife makers at The Cutler's Cottage in Hahndorf.
Unfortunately Nathan was not present but Bluey was able to check out some of his hand forged knives, outdoor (top) and some kitchen range (bottom).
More of Nathan's work can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/TheCutlersCottage

Ha ha, it's bloody freezing in Melbourne at the moment, but Bluey's welcome to drop in with me while he's off exploring Oz.
Great pics fellas.
(I was on the list to host a visit in January this year, but had to pass, as I was in Ireland at the time.)

Email sent to join in on this epic adventure, I'd suggest a written provenance showing it's travels.
May need to start one and fill in to bring it up to date and then it would just be added to as it reaches the next in line

Gary. . . I have added you, Cambertree, and a few others to the travel queue for Bluey. Please keep an eye on the first post in the thread where his travelogue has been kept since day 1. A new itinerary with re-calibrated mileage has been started for Bluey.
After a busy couple of weeks Bluey was able to get out and take in a bit of the local history at The Old Gum Tree - Glenelg, South Australia.

A package arrived from South Australia this morning. (Thanks Lou7!)
A Victorian welcome party was assembled to greet the visitor from interstate.
The Delicas hanging out.
Bluey meets SuperBluey.
Later, Bluey went down to the garden to harvest some herbs and salad greens for dinner.
Bluey obligingly sliced up a snack.
Then we went for an afternoon walk.
Gotta watch out for those 'roos!
