Hi all, here we are in our beautiful beach house five minutes from one of the most fantastic beaches I have ever seen. It is very pristine, no shells, just smooth tiny drops of sand that are so small, it squeaks when you walk on it!!! The waves keep breaking and provide a surfer's paradise!!! The beaches go forever, as far as the eye can see. So after the busyiness of Sydney, we are enjoying the R and R. We also have a lap pool in this gorgeous house, that the kids rented from friends that used to own their home in YK, and Brenda was Meredith's old boss. There are parrots that greet us each day just by the pool, as well as in the evening. Their beautiful colours are wonderful. Not much else new, warm and humid but I love it!!!! We are also enjoying barbecues by Jeff, as we haven't had one since Florida.

We are in Mt. Coolum, on the Sunshine Coast, about an hour and a half by plane north of Sydney. Here til Sunday, when we fly to Whitsunday.
