And yes Gary did turn it off.

I thought it was time for a change and went and got my hair cut.

"Mooches" in Brisbane.

Sad Times

Well just thought you better know that we have had a bit of a tuff time in Paradise.

Remember Porridge, I sadly had to take him to the vets and he had to be put to sleep as he had CL which contacted from an air born bacteria, which once gets in to open wounds causes large ulcers, thankfully his suffering was minor - as this was the very first ulcer that he had. This bacteria has no cure. And is highly contagious to horses, sheep, goats. So for a few weeks we were worried for Horace too.

Rest In Peace Porridge

Welcome Wizard -Whizz

Meet Wizard

How could we leave him behind?

Wizard is known as Whizz.

How cute is he?

Oddie wanted to be part of the action and has taken on parent role.

As you'll see both A-J and I are keeping a good eye on them both!!

A Swarm

Beneath his outfit, is Brian.

Who we met through Trish and Mick.
Yes these little lovelies to a liking to our lovely macadamia nut tree.
But they weren't welcome.

Time to say good bye.

I wasn't that brave.

Wild life!!

Wow................. we found this little - BIG - bug on Betty's bonnet one day.

Believe it or not, it's only a cricket.

Sunset

How about seeing this of an evening?

Whilst crossing the Bribie Island Bridge taking girls to their karate lesson.
And this.
It's like a dream.
Not bad eh!!



Through the fantastic colours, over the Bribie Island bridge you can see the
The Glass House mountains in the back ground.

Taking a breathe!!

Laughing Kookaburra

What a beautiful silhouette of an amazing (and noisy) bird.

Up in our paper bark trees.
Who's a pretty bird then!!
We were amazed that these birds come so close as if they want to know you.

So who's looking at who then?

First Oz Birthday for the Hutts

Happy Birthday 37th Michelle

Of all the people to meet and get along with, it's my twin from across the waters.

Sunday 29th at the Sizzler -

Gary and girls organised a surprise birthday cake - yes I had my own ice-cream cake. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmy


We took all girls and met up with Jo & Pete (Grist) too.

We went to Century Lakes after Lunch, so girls could burn off energy.

A-J and Pete on See-Saw

Fancy sitting on this bench and taking the views in?

Well this is the area, directly behind the rental we stayed for 5 weeks on Bribie Island. Beautiful eh!

Wouldn't you just like to come and have the sand go through your toes and capture this?

Woorim Beach, again on Bribie where we take the girls and their boogie boards (during day light hours).

This jetty is perfect for fishing off.


And yes we've put our rods in here.

Can you see the residence of Bribie?

These magnificent birds are seen around Bribie at all times they have their favourite places.
One being on top of the lights on the bridge into Bribie Island.

And this is another of their favourite spots.










Content birds eh!!

A Kingfisher

This beautiful bird - uses our dam to fly over dive into and as in picture preen itself in our trees.

How blessed our we.

The Birds!!

The 4 Hens (or chooks as they are called in Auzzie land) were the first of the birds to arrive, on the same day as Horace and Porridge.






Then there came Duncan our drake. A gift.
(Duncan was shy when he arrived and didn't like his picture taken)









But as Duncan was lonely we brought home (within a few days) his own harem. Again more gifts.








Two girls enjoying their paddle on the dam.

Who will lay the first egg?
