Grafton


We stopped in Grafton for two days at the show grounds, to do a little housekeeping,shopping for groceries,a new amplifier etc.I was very nicely surprised to nearly literally run into our first neighbour we had when we moved to Emerald Leanne Daveson,I'm so glad we went to aldi that day!We had a lovely catch up, plenty of power talking!! Grafton was a pretty little place, terrible bridge entering town though, lucky  Patrick is such a great driver.We fished in the river at Corcoran Park with no luck, enjoyable spot to watch the sun set.

Natural Arch

We took a little day trip to see Natural Arch near Springbrook in Gold coast hinterland,wow!!! I had visited about 30 years ago with my mum and dad and almost forgot how amazing it is.Our wonderful tour guides, rob and braz,showed us a great day,fresh local prawns for lunch,fudge and coffee a bit later and a cool roadie from a funny little shop for our scenic drive home,how much better does it get?

Potsville

 Pots-Full Tavern...Below Potsville golf course.We stayed with an old friend of Pats, Braz and his lovely wife Robyn, they live in a little pocket of paradise with their horses and little Foxy.Pat and Braz played 9 holes at this beautifully manicured,very hilly course while we yakked.Had nice lunch at Cabrita beach life savers club,cruisy afternoon and fishing after tea.Sunday we started with cool markets then for day trip up to springbrook.Thanks to for support in my new gluten free way of life, i'll hopefully soon be half the woman i am  currently!All for now I,ll leave you be.

While we spent time at the Quinn's we actually spent time doing maintenance on our Wedgie.Our eagle transfer was peeling off so we sanded it, re painted and re lacquered it now it's beautiful.Are still waiting for our loo s.o.g. which will make that end of the situation much better!

We went to the most fantastic show at the Outback Spectacular last Sunday.Now they have a tribute to Phar Lap in the spirit of the horse show.A yummy 3 course meal, plenty of grog and as we went with our lovely Irish friends, great company!A must see for all.

Brissie

We, with much sadness left mum,dad and Surawski's on Straddie and returned to Brisbane.A few little jobs had to be done on the Wedgie so in between we have had fun catching up with more family and friends.Helen came visiting with our beautiful niece,Maddison, she loved investigating the new surroundings.We are currently parked up with our lovely Irish friends Angela and Seamus at Burbank, they have 6acres mostly bushland backing onto Mt Petrie. Our leisurely stroll turned into a gruelling hike however once at the top too overgrown to enjoy the 360 deg view!
