"The Gronows" have arrived!!! We have been patiently waiting our time out in the horrible weather Buddina has been putting on since Boof and Nikki went back to work. On Sunday, the sun came out for the first time in a week and we headed off to Noosaville to see Dusk, Peter, Jackson and Liam. We were all so excited to see them, this was a very anticipated day and it seemed as if it would never come around. The week prior to them arriving has been boring,...

Last few days have been very lazy!!! Weather has turned bad with dark skies and rain for the last 3 days. Girls getting a bit of cabin fever, well we all are! On Sunday afternoon, Marty, the girls and l went and checked out a place called "the ginger factory" in Yandina, about half an hours drive from Buddina. It was a miserable kind of day and we needed to get out of the apartment. It was a bit pricey for what was on offer to do (around $80 for the family). We...

We all headed off to Aussie World today with Boof and Nikki. It was such a great day, got there around 10am amd didn't leave till closing time at 5pm. Aussie World is an amusement park full of rides for both the young and old. It's right next to Ettamogah pub which we had a sticky beak in quickly at the end of the day. The rides were awesome at Aussie World, the best being "the giant redback", it's a combination between the 'pirate ship' and 'the claw'. Boof, M...

We have had a fantastic day today with Boof and Nikki. In the morning we took a drive up to Mooloolaba, cool little coastal town. Marty informs me on the way back from our drive that he thinks our clutch mightn't be working properly! So we call into a few places and make some phone calls to find that it is the clutch, it's stuffed and the cheapest to get fixed is going to be around $1500!!! Bit bumbed at first, but what can we do, need the car to be working and ...

Well we said goodbye to Moreton Island today, boarded the MICAT at 1pm to head back to Port Brisbane. The packing up of camp was easy enough, even after the rain the night before!! Only took 2 hours which was ok. Sad to leave moreton island, is a really beautiful place and we completely relaxed there. However, think we had all had enough of the sand, constant dirty feet and the hybrid toilets by the end. Can't decide if we stayed a few days more than we should o...
