Sunshine Coast for the weekend........

Ok I have been trying to load photo's for day's - will add more later.....


The JEEP....! Bindi's show at Australia Zoo


Gotta love this billboard.....

So, Marty arrives to collect me from work in a Hire Car, not just any hire car – A RAG TOP WRANGLAR JEEP
– how spoilt am I......?
Toooooo much damn FUN........,
so clad I am wearing my Sunglasses when driving out of the hotel the next day otherwise some tears of joy may have been recognised (Yes pathetic I know, but I was so damn HAPPY!!!)


We had a busy we
ekend, Emundie Markets Saturday morning followed by a drive (with the top down of course) to Noosa for a look around & a late lunch.
Dinner after we got back was a Chocolate Mud Cake & a Kahlua Coffee..... mmmmmm yummmm!

Sunday we were up early to visit Steve Erwin’s Australia Zoo.
Followed by a drive up the Glass House Mountains to take in the view & stopping at a cool little cafe on the way down for lunch. A quick sorting of the Jeep, peel the roof back off, turn up the music & away we go..........
Equals Bliss..........

Riverfire F-111 Dump & Burn for the (2nd) last time.....!!!


Fireworks lift off from the tops of buildings & from barge's on the river


More fireworks & the F-111 Dump & Burn streaking across the Brisbane sky.

Getting home after work was an issue...... once I had negotiated the masses of people on the stairs at Riverside I discovered that the queue for the ferry was so damn long plus 4 people wide. There was no way in hell I was going to get home before it started, so a phone call to Marty had him & our friend Elliott (who had joined us one more time before heading back to NZ) jumping in the car & doing a mercy dash before they closed off the bridges.

How lucky are we this time to be living in a prime location for viewing the fireworks?
Both Jo & EJ had missed it last year; they were both amazed as they had never seen anything like it. We thought baby Charlie may have been frightened by the noise, but she too enjoyed the pretty lights.

The F-111’s did their Dump & Burn & got the adrenaline pumping as before, what an awesome show.
We finished the night off by taking Elliott into the city for a....... shall we say ‘a send off’.......!!!
