OA walk - FS TWD

Always a good time of year to visit Mount Lofty Botanical Gardens. A bit busier in the school holidays but bonus of Bracegirdles hot chocolate when there's a nip in the air Managed a circuit of the lake dodging the water sprinklers. The zinnia bed is amazing and many different salvias and grasses compliment the huge range of leaves from pale gold, orange, copper to burgundy. Cloudy skies next week so this may be the last visit for a while

It is a brilliant homage to the life of The King. From his humble beginnings as a child in Tupelo, Mississippi through to his triumphant 1968 comeback special, this production is a celebration of one of the most influential artists to grace the world. Rob Mallett IS the king. Playing the iconic role of Elvis Presley would be no easy feat, but Mallett has perfectly captured the complex life that Elvis led. Vocally, the ensemble was stunning. From tight, well drilled harmonies through to brilliant solo voices — this was an exceptional ensemble. This was only topped by the way they carried out the choreography. Every big production number was packed full of energy. A standout was  Blue Suede Shoes  at the top of the second act where the ensemble’s energy exploded off the stage.

With 300 pictures to choose from it's hard to pick my top 30 but here's a selection .... with some duplicates. Also there's a reminder that, when we arrived home,  Autumn's arrived in the Hills as the clocks went back (Gather Round weekend too)
