A very happy and healthy 2013 to all our
friends and family!
We’ve recently experienced tropical rain as
well as scorching sun, and found our way back to Eungella National Park (Finch
Hatton Gorge), where the Captain was able to indulge his fetish for bathing in
fresh water pools. Matey got her fix of rainforest, babbling
brooks and waterfalls - sigh. Lots of other people
had the same idea but we managed to find some pools away from the crowds. We stayed a delightful few days at the pub
at the little town of Finch Hatton, where the food was unexpectedly delicious!
A visit from Jane and Mark was exciting,
and fortunately the fine weather held for three days, bracketed by days of
tropical downpours. We managed a loop of Whitsunday Island, and a good time was had by all.
We spent new year’s eve and a fun few days
with Gary and Tiana, and visited Cedar Creek Falls and Conway Beach.
