Took close to 5 hours to cover the 120 km from Burnie to Cradle Mountain, including lunch at Coles founder GJ Coles's father's store in Wilmot. Then attended a wine & cheese tasting fundraiser for the Qld Premier's Flood Relief Appeal at the Discovery (Big4) Park at Cradle Mountain.

I put the roof vents in my canopy.
What a pain of a job.
I' am still itching from the fibreglass.
Morag weeded her garden and did housework.
0 alcohol consumed as usual.
Thats basically all we got up to...

We avoided the hot, sandy, crowded, jellyfish and tourist infested beaches & retreated to the mountains....

I spent most of the day at home with the air conditioning going full bore and kids complaining. The highlight of the day being a late afternoon trip to BCF to buy a fishing rod. Hardly the most exciting day or posting on this forum.

I did Google search sails for a portable kayak, and looked at some custom made long bows and Mongolian bows (which are very nicely crafted), as a possible future purchase for my bow hunting trips out western NSW.

Hope you all had a great day

cheers

I cable-tied a flag to my UHF aerial, and drove around all day:



Actually, I lie. It's been there all week (still is, too).

Tuesday night was a BBQ at our place with friends, which we got in trouble for from the neighbour the next day for drinking too much and making too much noise. 7 stubbies, and 2 bottles of wine between 8 people is excessive, apparently??   Anyhew, we spent The Day visiting friends with new bubs, and topped it off with another BBQ at home with the in-laws - pretty much a perfect day!

Glad to hear everyone else had / was going to have a good time. Since we haven't heard back from McGirr, we can just safely assume he's either still living it up with his new lady friends, or is locked in a hotel room in Cairns somewhere, in an ice bath missing both his kidneys. If we don't hear from you in a couple of days mate - I'll start ringing around!

Thanks!

Ease up Speewa, some folk don't have a choice and some do but have a conscience.

I worked half a day, managed to get another job ready. But there again, i'm still a pom.........

[rescue1]

Worked all day introduced the office staff to Vegemite (illegally imported into South Africa) went to a function in Pretoria in the evening where we raised ZAR1000000+ for QLD & Vic flood victims. Amazing what a few expats can do when they put their minds to it.

Crystal Creek is about an hour's drive north of Townsville on the road to Paluma - You turn off the Bruce Highway about 60-odd kays north and head westerly up the range. It is fairly well signed. Road is a bit narrow in places, but all bitumen. Half way up you hit a small picnic area & carpark.  The bridge and swimming holes are just next to these.
The area is day use only, but there are a couple of caravan parks back out on the highway not too far away, or you can continue up the range past the creek and Paluma village and then out to Paluma Dam where you can camp.

We had a BBQ, invited some friends around, had lamb on a spit, free homebrew beer around the pool and swimming all day
