Whats been happening?


Hi everyone,
Well what an exciting last month or so we have had. Everyone except poor old Bradley has been to Cairns for one reason or another. Where do we start, ok Mel went first when the doctor thought she had appendicitis, luckily it wasn't but went did get a night in Cairns by ourselves.. No we didn't leave the kids here to fend for themselves, one of my work colleges very kindly baby-sitted for us. Next was Karla who went for a school trip to compete in the regional OPTI-minds challenge. This is a thing for brainy kids apparently, anyway they came second by a whisker. Lastly was Michael, yes remember a couple of months ago I posted the picture of Michael playing cricket, well that was his undoing. He decided he wanted to be Steve Waugh and his friend Jason Gillespie, yep Michael ended up with a busted nose.


Bradley hasn't been left out, he had his 10th b'day a couple of weeks ago. Yep 10 already, god I'm getting old... Bradley and I had a father-son day not long ago and decided to go fishing and what a morning it was, Bradley landed a lovely cod and me a nice trevally. No I wont bore you with another photo, because I didn't have my camera.


But we ended up having a great morning.


Lastly I have just come back from working extremely hard, ooh stop laughing. I just travelled by boat from cairns to Thursday Is, stopping at some of the most fantastic reefs and Islands among the Great Barrier reef. I have a trivia question for you all. What is so special about Restoration Island??? This lovely island in far north Qld. The answer is revealed in the comments page.

The last photo, is something everyone should do, yep stand at the top of mainland Australia. Now just because I happened to be working and it was raining and the wind was blowing like a mini cyclone doesn't mean I shouldn't enjoy myself.
