Posted on:

Hopefully the second last day of school work. I’m probably more excited about that then Seb. Another hot muggy day. After school work, we headed to Murgon to catch up with Wayne and Sandy, Kylie’s Uncle, for morning tea. They rocked up in his XA GT Coupe. Pretty cool looking […]

Big storm came over today. May have been some hail but I don’t think so and we were at the ginger factory. The ginger factory was pretty good, don’t think it was worth 200$ bit what is food value these days? The bee tour was pretty cool. Kids got to […]

Pomona day 2. Headed back to Gympie to jump on the Mary Valley Rattler. It was a nice experience. Does take you back to a bygone era. Can smell the coal burning and rattling our bones, a far cry from a shinkansen. Felt like we were traveling maybe 30-40km/h. The […]

No, Charlie Chaplin is not a place. We headed to Pomona. They were screening a silent movie at the Majestic Theatre. I really didn’t expect the kids to sit through a whole movie with no talking and just an organ. It was a surprisingly good viewing experience and probably helped […]

Rainbow Beach day 4. We said our farewells to the Whiteheads as they are on their way and our paths probably won’t cross till we are established back home in Brisbane. I almost can’t remember what we got up to and I’m doing this one day after. I’m guessing a […]

Rainbow Beach day 3. Much nicer day. Hard to believe I didn’t take any pictures. We did our school work, kids played in the park a bit I think. They made a cubby house out of drift wood. We headed to with the Whiteheads to Teewah by going inland through […]
