Day 89 (20.01.10)


We quite often wake up to find Jed sleeping like this with all her legs in the air and snoring like a drunk - oh yeah she's a real lady!!

Day 88 (19.01.10)

Happy birthday to a very special man - hope you have a wonderful day Bill and we will be thinking of you!

Day 86 (17.01.10)


Another half day of hot hard work and it's done.  Now we have a fair bit of digging, jack hammering and paving to do!  It's so great and is going to make a huge difference to us and we couldn't have done it without Col and his expertise!!  Thanks Col - we will be thinking of you every time we kick back and crack open a beer!! 
Sue - better pick your colours and you can 'borrow' my husband for a weekend!!!

Day 85 (16.01.10)


A not so little extension to our house - the start of our entertaining area!!  Col came down from Bowen to give Al a hand (or is that Al gave Col a hand!!) and they knocked up this awesome awning.

We finished up a hard days work with a cool drink around the fire!

Day 84 (15.01.10)


Flight from Perth to Mackay was super long and super boring! Great landscapes below though so I thought I would take, err, a couple of snaps of my birds eye view!!

Beautiful big blue ocean...

The Great Australian Bite....

Salt lakes....

Not sure but it looked cool..........

A big nothing!!!

Some sky at least....

That's better - farmlands with light cloud cover...

Qld - so green compared to SA and NSW...

Brisbane... but wait there's more!!  Yep you thought it was over but that was the Perth Brissy leg, now for Brissy to Mackay!!!!

Don't worry, only two photo's - Brisbane Airport...

Home sweet home!!

Ned and Zaccie!

Day 81 (12.01.10)


Zoo trip today - Perth is a fantastic zoo and I got heaps of good animal shots which unfortunately won't upload :(  but I do have this shot of Ned and Dylan on the baby elephant and Zac, well I'm not sure what he's doing!!!

Day 80 (11.01.10)


Got to catch up with Matt, Doll, Lucie and Jacob today and like all old friends the years slipped away and we were chatting over our cuppa's like we did most days in Jabiru!!!

Ned, Lucie and Jakey - he's a new addition since we last saw each other and is very cute!

Lucie and Ned - Lucie is totally gorgeous and sweet, just how she was in Jabiru but bigger!
