MURWILLUMBAH
4th June to 9th July 2007
Yes I've been slack and haven't posted in quite awhile. We've been too busy enjoying life to spend time on the computer. For the last month we have been camped at Pete (brother) and Marlyn's place near Murwillumbah. He put us to work the very first day we arrived, mulching his new garden beds.
On the 6th June we drove up to Brisbane to visit the Caravan and Camping Show. We picked the most dreadful day as it poured with rain all the way up to Brisbane. When we finally arrived there were no parks left and we drove around for about an hour before finding one a kilometre away from the showgrounds. We then spent the day sloshing through water to each of the pavillions. Should have just stayed home!!
Over the next few weeks we helped Pete and Marlyn renovating a property. We painted inside and out and refreshed the garden. It was good to do some real work for a change!! We also helped around their property building garden beds and chopping down bamboo.
It wasn't all work though we managed to play lots of bowls at Murwillumbah, Kingscliff and Condong Bowls Clubs. We played at least twice a week. The Kingscliff Club is right on the beach and from the club house we watched whales frolicking out at sea.
Every Sunday we would all arise very early and head into Murwillumbah to a friends place for a paddle on the Tweed River. Bob and Jano live right on the river in town and have a pontoon to launch the canoes. The Tweed River is very pretty in the early morning light. We would spend about 45 minutes paddling then return for a breakfast BBQ beside the river. There's nothing better than enjoying freshly brewed coffee, bacon and eggs overlooking the water.
Well that's about all for now, life is good. I will try and catch up with the rest of the blog very soon.
