We are just waiting for our daughter Carla to come and do a final check with our laptop and other bits and pieces.

Nearly Ready



Well countdown is really on now, we hope to leave on Friday morning. Will only travel as far as Crows Nest via Kilcoy and Esk. Having a few problems connecting wireless broadband, as we are in a black spot here, have to walk up to the back of the block to get reception.

This is a pic of one of the things that we will miss, my garden, the birds and wildlife, this gorgeous Koala was in the trees down at the front of the block and was chased down the tree by numerous birds, I guess they had a nest higher up.
