Left Buddina around 9:30am and headed off to Hervey Bay. The drive was beautiful, getting more tropical as we head north and Marty and l are in love with the Queensland style house on stilts. Stopped in Maryborough for lunch, had our famous sandwiches in the park. Arrived at Hervey Bay around 1:30pm and got to our caravan park that we'd organised prior. It looked horrible, so we rang around and ended up booking into Shelley Beach Caravan Park in Torquay, a small...

Sadly we said goodbye to Dusk, Peter, Jackson, and Liam today, but not before another great few days. We had another jam packed day with them on Tuesday, playing cricket on the beach in Noosa, relaxing by the pool while the kids had a swim then having another fish in Noosa river. The fishing was better this time with Marty even catching a few small whiting. It wad even without incident with the kids this time, it was just cut short by the rain were we all had to...

"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.

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...
