PRE Christmas Rush ! and jobs well done !
This has been a very busy week for us,firstly we had to take the bus and car to Bundaberg (home of rum making !) for towing bars to be fitted in readiness for the BIG trip in Feb when we can now tow (free wheel) our 4 wheel drive in order we can reach in accessible areas ! On the way there we passed a house that has a railing (straight bars ) around the house containing what seemed to be live animals ! On further inspection they are all plastic BUT unbelievably realistic !! I towed the car home and considering it was the first time I have ever done this it worked out extremely well without incident (110 kms !) We next encountered a building in the shape of a HUGE barrel and of course? they make barrels!! We also had the opening of our new community centre showing life around Hervey bay and some of the BEST mural type panoramic photo s I have ever seen ( sadly,to buy? around $5000 each !) featuring Whales,insects,sea life,all of which are also displayed in the HUGE cinema room. Annie attended the Xmas lunch run by her her PROBUS group of ladies and she has also landed a job in St Vinnies and best of all she gets job seeker allowance that doesn’t impact on my pension !! Mid week we went to the Boat Club for the annual Toy Raffle attended by Father Xmas,sadly NO win for us BUT the table next to us won FOUR prizes !! Our number plates,sadly, have also had to be changed over from Western Australian plates to Queensland plates and I no longer bear my personalized LUXXIE plates ,however, the rego numbers are 243 exactly the same as my old house in Perth ! I dont understand the rationale of each State over here having different licence plates,Maybe one day Australia will do just that !!!n The plan is coming together nicely (2013 trip)and I think we are expecting visitors next week
