Quack Quack Jill visits the Gardens!
With Kate and I off to the Gardens today, we thought we’d invite along Quack Quack Jill!
Seeing as the weather has been truly appalling lately and QQJ has spent most of her time indoors, or just plodding about in the pond out back, she figured it would be a great idea and a good opportunity to stretch those little webbed feet. After assuring her that she wouldn’t be in any way a burden, we packed up some gear and off we went.
Jill immediately took a liking to the Lake at the front of the Gardens, so much so that we didn’t see or hear from her for at least 20 minutes while she was off swimming with her ducky pals.
After convincing her that there was indeed, other stuff to see inside the gardens, in we went.
Straight to water, there’s no denying the instinct in this one. Up on the fountain ledge Jill went.
After taking a stroll through the Storybook Garden, QQJ decided to have some tea at the Madhatters Tea Party.
Here in the Asian gardens.
Jill! Off the grass!
Careful Jill, they may be gentle giants, but all your energy might surprise him!
As we rested, Jill took a waddle up to the big waterfall. She asked me to snap a photo of her by the Hunter Valley Gardens sign with the waterfall in the background. Obviously, I was more than happy to oblige!
Finally, a little rest for Jill after all the running about. Pictured here before some of the lovely flowers at the Garden exit.
Until the next adventure!

Jill seemed to enjoy herself today didn’t she. Especially in the Chinese Garden. That was her favourite garden me thinks. Although she did have a lot of fun playing with the duckies.
Haha I don’t know if you knew this but you have posted the photo with my head in it. Note readers - Spot the Katie. I’m a cheeky monkey
What’s next for Jill?? We have to go back to Glenrock, and then a tour around Newcastle…We gotta keep her busy!!!

Glad to see Quack Quack Jill’s enjoying herself over there!!
I’m sure she’ll enjoy many more adventures out and about! Any plans on where you’re going to take her next? 
I found you Kate!!
Didn’t notice at first, hidden away, blending in!

Katie,
Yeah I think Jill had a ball! Was nice for her to get out and play with some of her cousins
I noticed you in that photo yeah. You were in most of them though, so I got tired of picking new ones and just added it :p Glenrock and Newcastle definitely!

Bec,
Yeah QQJ is having fun! We’ll probably show her the landmarks of Newcastle, Nobby’s beach and such next
