20210625 Qld Trinity Park

20210625 Trinity Park is a town situated in and around Kuranda and Yorkeys Knob and is a hop skip and a jump to the Islands off Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, and home to my son Ken. Now each time I've visit my son I have been lucky enough to return home in one piece so it should be interesting to see what sort of shenanigans we can get up to this time.

Our first night at Trinity and Kelly turns up to greet us, it's been a long time coming and it's always great to catch up with this cheeky babe.

20210626 We had a great night full of laughter and much to drink, as we all do when we all get together, but tonight will be the big test with Dave and Trudy and Teresa and Jo joining us for the evening, now things could get messy, no! things will get messy.

The Bluewater Hotel offers a wonderfull view of the marina and surrounding mountains, and a good variaty of delightfull dishes, but be aware of the dredded Lasagna.😬

At the Bluewater Hotel for lunch and to catch up with my beautiful nice Stacy, it's been a long time coming for these cousins who haven't seen each other in years.

Stacy, my niece and Ryan, my grandson, Des the photographer, he just had to get Ryan with his bloody eyes closed, good on ya.

At the Bluewater Hotel for lunch with me Fam.


Love is in the air, I'm not so sure about that look on Ken's face though.

Now that's much better.💝


Ok you lot, up for a group photo before you all get too messy.
From left is Jo, Teresa, Trudy, Dave, Kenny, Annie, Conrad and the old farts in the front, now you can get messy.

The Prawn's are on thanks to Conrad who sourced them out for us, dig in guys.

Ha, ha, I got ya, it's too late to worry about ya hair now Teresa.

WHERE ARE YOU DES
Des drowning, but in his element while gropping Annie and he's not about to let go as he rams his face right in there, talk about a sick old man.
Well that was fun, I'm pretty sure Des is keen for another round.
And the night just got better only this time it's Dave's turn.

Nop, she doing the rounds, it's Ken's turn now, 
HA BABE.
So that how the Scottish carry on, bloody discusting.

Well two can play at this game, ha babe, look at me! look at me! 😂

And that's my sexy look, Des looks so captivated, NOT.

Mother and Son duet, and trust me we sounded great.

And we just got better as the night rolled on, we evey herd someone walking by and clapping, true we did.

Des and Teresa in a deep and meaningful, it couldn't have been to meaningfull because Des can't even remember what it was she was shown him.
Conrad's share his photo of the 7 ton catch of prawns in one haul, now Des is thinking, prawns or boobies, it's a hard one.

And the rush is on to see who can peel prawns the fastest and if it wasn't for Conrad double dipping he just may have had a chance.

Then it's Ken's turn to beat the champ, yep, just as I thought, Des had it peeled and in his mouth before Ken could even blink, you loose.

20210627 We all woke a bit fuzzy after a fabulous light catching up with good old friend and meeting new friends in Trudy and Jo, we had a big pig out on fresh prawn sandwitches, giggled heaps and Ken and I serenaded the crew while we danced the light fandango, what more can I say.  Teresa text me saying she woke with a sore jaw and stomach from laughing so much.

Even thow my head was not 100% we managed to all poor into the car and take a trip to check out the markets in town at the botanical gardens where I snapped this display of arts.

One of the many fig trees that suround the gardens.


























Ok! so the story goes like this, Ken was working on his trail bike and decided to take it for a quick run to check out his repairs, well, that was his first mistake. We all know Kens not one to think things through so on he hops with no shirt, but he did were boots and about 100 yards up the road he takes a tumble were he quickly jumps to his feet before anyone see's him picks up his bike and rushes home only to have Annie patch him up while Ken screams like a girl.😖

OMG! I have never seen anyone who takes so bloody long at putting on a dam bandage, and it was a stick on.
This girl will never make a nurse. Arr for christ sack just stick the bloody thing on as they both discuss which way to place the bandage.
FFS, talk about painfull to watch, I don't think I've ever seen anyone so gental, I need a drink.
🍷🍷😂





20210628 Annie had the day off and Ken works when ever he wants, or so it seem, so we decided to have a movie day at home and chill out with the exception of a bit of a tidy up in the back yard followed by a dump trip, at least we achived something before Ken found a comfy spot on the lounge were he slept all day, how can anyone sleep that much, but this is Ken we're talking about.

20210629 Unfortunatly it's time to leave and let these guys return to some sort of normality as we pack up and say our goodbys before heading to Mareeba to catch up with Desie's old mate Jeff.  

WE HAD THE BEST TIME
LOVE YOU GUYS
MUM

20150809 WA Moora, New Norcia, Bindoon

Image
20150809  The town of Moora came from the Aboriginal name 'Moora' which means blowfly and is situated in one of the most interesting wildflower areas of the state and is the largest town between Geraldton and Perth, well! all I can say is, all the other towns must be bloody small.  The rolling hills on the way to Moora are a blaze with the vivid yellow flowers of canola and are just breath taken and apparently it smells like cabbage. Canola is grown for its seed which is crushed for the oil used in margarine, cooking oil, and a few more. The properties of the oil fits with the current view that human health is better served by increasing the intake of mono and poly unsaturated fats in place of saturated fats The Drovers Inn was built in 1909 and stands on the intersection of the town. The historical buildings are what gives this town it's charm. The New Norcia Benedictine Community is the official title of the group of Roman Catholic monks w...

20240608 Qld Miara, Miriam Vale to Turkey Beach Dick’s

Image
20240608  We arrived at Tony’s house and because his land is uneven Will, his neighbour was kind enough to let us park on his nice lawn. Des always put a jack under the steps for extra support when Tony yelled out, is that so Leonie doesn’t break the steps, No I said it’s in case you want to come in, Ha!Ha got ya.  I collecting wood from down the back while the boys did nothing apart from bending their elbows drinking beer and  because the guys were too lazy, leave it up to the only female. 50 Cans per shelf Tony recons and I’m sure he would know, he fills it every day.😁 So our Tony feed the Kookaburras with a special dog food that’s good for them and his theory is they keep the snakes away. We had a funny night while sitting around the fire that I built, and the conversation about the people we have all known while downing a few too many beers. Will worked with Dick and knew his brother who was killed in a tragic Crain accident in Darwin many years ago, we certainly liv...

20240520 NSW Deepwater to Coolatai

Image
20240520 So here we are once again back in Deepwater and parked in our old spot, how special it is to be able to connect to power, it’s like luxury especially when you’re travelling. Later in the afternoon Chris, a guy we meet last time we were here came to say Hi, then we joined him in the bar for a few ales with more of the locals. 20240521 We had the heater going all night and the van in the morning is still bloody freezing, let’s travel in winter he says, it’ll be great he says, ya sure if you like freezing all night. Des goes outside to wash up and what he thought was a dish left behind turned out to be his frozen dish cloth, I told you it was cold.🥶  We left the Longhorn and headed back to the Common Campground for a few days, we have become very fond of the spot, it’s so peaceful and secluded and has heaps of wood. We had a great few days enjoying our surroundings with no one in site, just the occasional car passing by and the only evidence is the dust off the dirt road. No...
