The Water Tube

This is such fantastic fun!!! Its so exhilirating but you really need all your strength to hold on. We couldn't stay out too long because, as you can see, the weather was changing rapidly and it kicked off in the afternoon.


Only problem with this is that there are sharks in them there waters!!! If someone comes off, you really need to get them out of the water immediately although the engine on the boat should deter them from coming too close - didn't want to chance it though!!!














































































And then off to bed after another great day out on the water.

Camping on South Stradbroke Island

After Wendy and Fea settled in, we decided to go off on te boat for a long weekend - so off we headed to South Stradbroke Island. The campsite can only be accessed by boat which means there are not hoards of people and screaming kids. There were about 7 other tents and we had this little pitch all to ourselves. It was total tranquility and we all really chilled out which is what we needed to do. The downside was that all the mosquitos in the whole universe also went to the island for a ong weekend and feasted on the 4 of us - we needed to go back to the mainland to fill up on mozzie repellant!!!

Puppies

Yep- they're getting on now - they are now 5 months old and totally out of control. Ray has booked them into an 8 week puppy pre school course to see if we can calm them down and get them to do what we want - not what they want!!! It would be so good to be back in control again................
