Well folks, now that my UN Forces reunion is done and dusted (and our feet are more or less back on the ground!), we have been busy getting ourselves organised for the period between now and the New Year.
I have finally gotten around to activating our membership of Aussie House Sitters with some productive results.
For any interested our schedule is as follows:
We are leaving Caloundra on 13 November to house sit in the little town of Howard (between Hervey Bay and Maryborough) for two weeks before moving on to caravan parks at Rainbow Beach and Tin Can Bay for 12 days.
From there it will be back south to Morayfield (just north of Brisbane) to again house sit until we move up to the Vietnam Veterans' park Standown (east of Gympie) on 23 December.
We have arranged to share Xmas with friends who are regulars at that park (we've been there before ourselves on two occasions and love it). They tell us it is a real hoot and this year it will include a masked ball on New Year's Eve. That did throw us a bit until we were told that shorts and thongs will be fine as long as the face is adorned with a mask of some sort!
Some recent personal financial decisions mean that we have to return briefly to Adelaide en route to The West next year to retrieve some documents in our storage shed. At this stage we plan to stooge down the east coast from early January (possibly house sitting on the way) with plans to catch up with friends in Port Stephens and at Lake Macquarie before turning our heads to the west.
A return trip to Yorke Peninsula and later down to Cowell on Eyre Peninsula (before we head north up the Stuart Highway in late April) is currently in the offing, but those plans remain nebulous.
More of that later. Now back to the Channel Country!
