And somehow the ironing got done...

Started behind this weekend. I was in Shepparton for two days for my first LLL Board meeting. It was fabulous to see the new Lutheran church that has been built there after the growth due to the African and Sudanese started worshiping there. But the flight home from Melb was delayed due to the weather, so after a couple of bad night sleeps, a 10.30pm arrival, Sat left me feeling pretty drained. My lower back had seized up so felt slightly better after a physio appoint, got on top of the shopping and washing, and then felt a million dollars after an afternoon nap. Lauren and the crew came for dinner. I did see Sadie fall for the first time, into Lauren’s arms, but just realised how random it could be.  Sadie had a lovely long shower (inside this time), but I did keep a close arm nearby. 

Today, I was on morning tea duty at church. I meant or swap it but just hadn’t got organised. Plus I was due at the Special Children’s Christmas Party at the zoo. Partly due to work sponsoring it and partly to see Sadie and Sonya. Church was a confirmation service so it took a long time. I had a nice chat to the other couple as we were setting up, and during the service they managed to ask someone else to help out as they knew I needed to get going. So I got to the zoo, said hello and had a wander and then got home for the washing and ironing before our friends turned up for Happy Hour.




Sadie has a new pusher! Time to rest her legs.

And here is Finn and Eloise at playgroup. Nearly 11 months old!




The perfect Christmas tree for pulling down by Finn and building up by Eloise!

Cape York Day 4 (1) Karumba to Musgrave Roadhouse

Image
Took our time leaving Karumba this morning, that’s what holidays are. Coffee on the waterfront, talking to some local boys about the fish they caught.  Drove round the other side of Karumba where it faces the Cape of Carpentaria, picked a couple of green mangoes which are now in the car to ripen. Drove through station country to the Mitchell River, which we bravely decided to cross. Bra on the car so that was $160 Tim was glad he spent.  The countryside was full of these huge ant hills. And scattered everywhere.

Cape York Day 4 (2) Karumba to Musgrave Roadhouse

Gate girl! A beautiful spot here at Musgrave. When we hit the Peninsula Developmental Road Tim was bitterly disappointed to find out that it’s been bitumen-isd. But this Roadhouse is on a lovely spot above a current dry river, lots of green grass, only a couple of people camping. And the best weather yet, cool breeze and probably 28 degrees. Really pleasant.

Cape York Day 7 Weipa to Fruit Bat Falls

Image
The plan today was to go to Eliot Falls to camp for two nights. Eliot Falls is on the Old Telegraph Track, a very hairy 4WD track which Tim did years ago with Anthony. There are two entry points to the falls from the main road which Tim thought was closer/easier and I didn’t double check the plans with him.  Anyway the day didn’t quite work out as we thought. The drive from Weipa to Bramwell Junction was easy, a few more giant anthills at Bramwell Junction.  A check of the battery power, Tim’s latest concern 😉. But all is working well after a solid charge at Weipa last night. The roadhouse and sign to the old track. We chatted to the girl at the roadhouse who said that there was a water crossing to get to Eliot Falls from the South entry of the track so we did a loop round to come in from the North.  This involved 15km on the Peninsula Road, 7km on 4WD track to meet up with the Old Telegraph track and then another 7km on the Old Telegraph track. We hadn’t got far down th...
