Australia!

We arrived in Australia a few days ago and are enjoying the plus 30 weather...sort of! I haven't managed to download any pictures yet, sorry, but picture this: Gentle floats up the tidal river bobbing along on noodles, an hour an half walk down a deserted pristine beach, strolling through the mangrove and rainforest board walk trails, lazy lattes on the deck of the local Aboriginal Cultural Centre, op shopping (mcc or thrift shopping) in Woolgoolga (hard name to say, nice place to stay!), a tempting twenty minute perusal of the quilting aisle of mega fabric store Spotlight, delicious meals on the deck with new and old friends and lots of laugh and of course - nail biting crokinole tournaments!
Pictures later! Right now, I'm going to relax in the hammock with my kindle and an icy fresh lime spiked Gin and Tonic! Ahhh, it's a hard life...

A hard life, but someone's gotta do it Joyce!!! I know you can do it! You can handle all that discomfort till you come home... 8-)
