Day 6 - Tin Can Bay

Evening lovelies,

Today was a little different.

This morning we ventured off the the local second hand store, where I picked up some books to keep in the van ready for our next trip.  A bargain at 10 books for $5.  Even Robbie got 3 for himself.

We then had an early lunch and it was off the the Country Club for a round of golf.  No sillies, I did not play, but I did have fun in driving the buggy and laughing at the boys.  Alas Nana was a little ill today, so she stayed home.



It is the first time I have been on a golf course in about 30 years, and I have never seen Gramps and Rob play together.  It is quite the experience. 😁



Gramps is left handed and he mostly hit his balls down the left side of the course.


Rob is right handed and played mostly down the right hand side of the course, and a little in the trees.



I could have taken some photos of them making good shots, but where is the fun in that.  😂

I think it was a good idea that we had two carts as they were both often off in different directions.






Robbie must have felt a little sorry for me not going to the beach today, so he played a little in the sand.


There were a couple of lovely lakes which had surprisingly clear water, and the odd duck or two.  The boys managed to stay out of the water which was good.



Other bird life included some magpies who are so cheeky, they hop up on your cart when you get off to see if there is anything worth pinching.



All in all it was a fun afternoon and I think I would go again to be the driver.

After golf it was time for a short rest, evening nibbles, bubbles and dinner.

Things I learnt today -
Watching golf is not as boring as I thought.  I was very entertained.
There is no penalty for playing an entire hole on the wrong fairway, though I believe there should be.
Golf balls can be hard to find when they are not on the fairway.

All for tonight lovelies,
Have a wonderful day tomorrow.

 Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format.  https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventua...

Three days in the snow.

Hi lovelies, We have had the most amazing 3 days at the Perisher Valley Snowfields. Warning this is a very text heavy post.  Photos are limited, you cannot take many while you ski/board.  Robbie will have a video soon. On Monday we headed up just for a drive and to see what was around.   The day was perfect.   Not too windy and bright and sunny. We parked at Bullock Flats and caught the Skitube to Perisher.   This is really the best way to get there.   Nice highway all the way, and while the train is a little expensive at $55.00 per head return it is preferable to an extra hour drive on roads that may be a little less than ideal.   There is also only limited parking at Perisher so the train is the way to go.   We had a bit of a look around Perisher before heading off to Blue Cow, again by Skitube. It was so lovely to wander around.      We were thankful that we hired boots as it wa...
