Australian rest and recreation.

 
20 September 2016
We are having a great rejuvenation period in Australia. We actually live in Brisbane but we have a property in Eungella, in north Queensland, 12 hour's drive from Brisbane. Our son lives in the Brisbane house, and our daughter lives in Mackay and goes to our Eungella property on the weekends. So we are torn between the two places!

Right now we are in Brisbane. Here we live in the rural outskirts of the city, on acreage. We always notice when we come back to Australia that there are SO many birds and animals here. Europe is a desert in comparison.
 
 
 
Our Eungella property has even more wildlife. It is in rainforest and is surrounded on three sides by national park. I really enjoy birdwatching here.

We have a visitor from Europe! Joe’s young cousin “Mira" is from Czech Republic anmd has come here to study and work. His arrival was very timely as we were about to leave for a boat trip with my brother and his family. 
We are near Gladstone at a place called yellow patch, because of the colour of the sand. 
 
 
We have been steadily completing all of our list of things to be done before we go back to Europe. And we have been catching up with our family. That is most important!
 
Don’t forget to check the facebook page. I will try to put a video up there showing the boat and aerial views of our anchorage. Waltzing Matilda - our Earthcruiser Journey around the world
