We have started to bump into some of the local wildlife. Apart from the usual kangaroos, kookaburras, galahs and lorikeets we have seen king parrots and the resident carpet snake (python) at Tristan and Jenni's aswell as a green tree snake. Plenty of green tree frogs and cane toads knocking around as well!
Christmas started this week for us with a visit to the year round Christmas shop in Eumundi and then the girls decorated the Christmas tree and the house with lights. We even managed to make mulled wine from scratch and decorated the tree over a few glasses as well as a few xmas tunes. The girls also 'helped' their grandma Omi make the xmas pudding.
The rest of the week was spent catching up with Jo's girlfriends and their children where Daisy and Holly rode a pony for the first time, as well as lunch with Jo's grandfather Arne and Elaine.
Finally for the week an early start and breakfast cooked on the bbq down on the river. Beautiful morning and a few fish caught after breakfast. Jo managed to hook a monster but sadly it took the line with it and almost the whole rod, which was just sat in the sand when the fish took the prawn! The girls were having a great scoot with cousins Max and Sam when Holly took a small diversion into someone on a bike and managed to split her top lip open! After a brave visit to the doctor without tears she was glued back together!
Next week update on the caravan and 4wd as we finish off kitting them out for our travels!
