Test Match and Trains

Its been an eventful week! We left the girls in Noosa and travelled down to Brisbane to watch the first day of the first test between Australia and New Zealand at The Gabba. Great mornings cricket but by tea the rain started to fall so we reverted to the pub for a few jugs of VB and then onto our hosts for the evening, thanks Kate and Dave for your great hospitality! Back to Brisbane next week with the girls to watch The Wiggles!


We have also been up to Gympie with the girls, Tristan, Jenni, Max and Sam to travel on The Valley Rattler steam train. We headed out of Gympie and through the bush and farmland over the Mary River before stopping for morning tea/snacks and a turn around. Great fun although everything needs a good wash to get rid of the smoke and coal!

We have started to fit out the caravan and have been making the girls bedding and sleep sheets. Trying to plan our first weeks travel but not easy as its the summer holidays here and most caravan parks busy for Christmas and New Year!

Finally for the week a BBQ on the river with some of Jo's old school friends, kids having a great time scooting up and down the footpaths and messing around on the rivers edge but whats with the beef sausages...cant find a decent bit of pig anywhere!
