That if you clicked on a picture it will enlarge.

Our New Patch..............

The Veggie Patch is up and running.......................................




It's right by the dam, for extra water.Although we've just fitted an extra water butt, behind the garage.




It's close to chook (chicken) pen and paddock - so leaves and excess vegetation go to chooks and goats when they arrive.

Marcia is Chris's (Gary's Mum) cousin

Marcia also happen to be one of the Lolly Pop Ladies at Bribie Island State School.

"Billy Graham's Wife Ruth Dies at 87
AP - Thu, 14 Jun 2007 21:33:40 -0400 (EDT)
By MIKE BAKER

Ruth Graham, who surrendered dreams of missionary work in Tibet to marry a suitor who became the world's most renowned evangelist, died Thursday. She was 87. Graham died at 5:05 p.m. at her home at Little Piney Cove, surrounded by her husband and all five of their children, said a statement released by Larry Ross, Billy Graham's spokesman.
"Ruth was my life partner, and we were called by God as a team," Billy Graham said in a statement. "No one else could have borne the load that she carried. She was a vital and integral part of our ministry, and my work through the years would have been impossible without her encouragement and support.
"I am so grateful to the Lord that He gave me Ruth, and especially
for these last few years we've had in the mountains together. We've rekindled the romance of our youth, and my love for her continued to grow deeper every day. I will miss her terribly, and look forward even more to the day I can join her in Heaven.""

I came across this article today be accident - but I'm sure God guided me this way.
I was actually looking advertisments for Goat collars.
But why this story stuck me - when i was a youngster - Yes many moons ago. The chapel I used to attend at Oldbury-Upon-Severn. Used to take us to the "Big Blue Tent"?!!
"The Big Blue Tent" was where we met many. many, Christian's - and was headed by Billy Graham.
I have never forgotten these experiences, and now feel sadness for him.

Goomeri - Pumpkin Festival


Guy McClean
An amazing horseman
As soon as we arrived at Goomeri we raced to see Guy at work - with his voice, he spoke gently to his horses, as well as talking through the power in his legs.
It was amazing results.
We watched him several times throughout the day, helping people and working with his horses.
One horse he rode bareback, cracking whips- stood up on the horses bare back, resiting a poem (he'd written) and then carried on to head the parade whilst cracking whips.

Sun Rise
We left home so early we saw this beautiful sunrise.

On the journey we thought it would be good to take pictures of sign posts to we and anybody else could see, where we've been and maybe what route we used on the journey.

Yes, we are passing a sign for BONGMILLERER CREEK
The above link will help you locate, not just here but around the world.

The Journey was fantastic as we travelled through amazing scenery. Also townships.
It was 2.5 hours from home and worth every bit.
