Boulder Creek

Jo & Wayne found this place out the back of Kuttabul where they live & we went out to picnic with them and Mum & Dad. It is so beautiful - really thick rainforest with running creeks right in amongst the cane fields!!

Picture perfect !

Al's 37th Birthday

Al had a nice relaxing birthday, with a quiet day at home & dinner at the Eimeo that night.

Glenelg

Check out our fancy digs we stayed in at Glenelg with Kelli and Stu!! We had left it a little late to book an apartment so we found this in the phone book and lets just say it made for an interesting night!!! It was 96 years old and not much had been done since - it was the worst nights sleep - Ali and my sheets were so old they were all pilling (Al calls them 40 course like the sandpaper!) and Jar's bed had a cigarette burn all the way through! Kelli and Stu on the other hand got beautiful crisp sheets, a tv and a heater!! Bugger!




We still had a great night catching up with a bottle of wine and a beautiful thai dinner and our accommodation gave us plenty to laugh about!!!
Jar got a henna tattoo done down on the beach and started a bit of a trend cause Kel and I got one too!!!

Introducing Tigger (the disappearing doggie!!)


While we were in Adelaide we 'discovered' a beautiful female Cocker Spaniel at a breeders in Meadows so Al, Bill and Barb headed out to meet 'Tigger' and bring her home. Unfortunately she had other ideas and made her great escape that night!! We walked and drove the neighbourhood, did letter box drops, put signs up and I even went on the radio!!!

We are glad to say that Tigger is now home after 4 days on the road, in the hottest weather, with the New Years fireworks celebrations going off and being in an area she didn't know.


Xmas in Adelaide

Heres an update of our trip to Adelaide - don't have a great deal of photos because my beautiful new camera stopped working as soon as we arrived!! Lucky Jar brought her little digi so theres a few piccy's!

We had a great Xmas day with all the family, a generous visit from Santa, a full hot lunch (which was great cause it was bloody freezing!!), pudding and all the trimmings!!
