| The front extension is now locked up and the house is ready for the plasterers & tiler. We will be back in 3 weeks to finish off. |
 |
| Wonder why everyone knows my name?? |
 |
| Beautiful clear blue water at Airlie Beach. Will be great to get the boat in and have a fish. |
 |
| The front reception at the caravan park where we are staying. Mum and Dad arrive tomorrow and will be here with us for 3 weeks. It will be awesome to see them. They can't wait for some warm weather! |
 |
| Sightseeing with Sue and Ox at Blacks Beach. |
 |
| Another beautiful beach at Dolphin Heads. |
 |
| The boys have started renovating the front of the house - on the home stretch! |
 |
| Had a terrific arvo & dinner with Noel & Raylee our friends that we met at Lake Maraboon. They were on their way South & stayed overnight in our park in Mackay especially to catch up with us. |
 |
| The extension is locked up and the hardest part is done! |
 |
| Our view of the sun rising from our balcony at the Clarion Hotel. We are staying here for 4 nights with Ox & Sue who have come up for a break from Phillip Island. It is so good to see them. |
 |
| Sue and I fishing off the beach. It's a beautiful sunny day. |
 |
| Having a beer at the end of a hard days fishing with our mates!! |
 |
| The extension is really taking shape. The windows and cladding make all the difference. |
 |
| Spent Saturday arvo at the Mackay Beach Horse Racing Festival. |
 |
| It was something different watching horse racing on the sand and some people even watched from their boats! |
 |
| Took a break from Mackay and went camping in the tent for 3 days at Cape Palmerston. We stayed here on our way to Mackay about 5 weeks ago and it's great to be back. It's a magical spot that some friends we met in St George had told us to visit. |
 |
| Tac caught a blue swimmer crab on his fishing rod! |
 |
| Fishing in the sandy creek watching the tide go out. The tides are big and you can literally see the water disappearing. |
 |
| Our friends Helen and Ken took us for a tour around the area and this spot was beautiful! |
 |
| At the end of a great day had a few beers with Helen & Ken. We will come back to the Cape and see them again in a few months time. |
 |
| A day off work due to wet weather so went for a drive and found another old Qld pub with its own unique story and had a counter lunch with a xxxx gold. |
 |
| One of the beautiful beachs at Cape Hillsborough National Park were we ventured on the same rainy day. |
 |
| The weather improved and the roof is on! |
 |
| Next is the ceiling battens..... |
 |
| Fishing again in a creek in the small town of Grasstree. Not a very successful day with the fish but loving the weather - 25 degrees. |
 |
| NO LAUGHING!!! Went to the Sarina Market this morning and bought two midgee suits. Tac was too shy to go on camera in his but won't hesitate to wear it when those nasty buggers are biting. Also good for the mosquitos when they are in full force. We just need to find a croc proof suit and I will be even happier. |
 |
| The frame is up and so are the trusses. |
 |
| It's looking good! |
 |
| "The Clarion" where Sue and Ox are staying when they come up to see us in August. We might stay there too for a few nights so we can enjoy catching up with our friends. It will be a nice break from the caravan. |
 |
| Today we went to the market on the marina.....another sunny day. |
 |
| My cute friends say hi. |
 |
| Tac's first throw of our new cast net. |
 |
