We are embracing retirement, and making the most of it.

We knew we were never going to sit still for long, so whilst we are happy and healthy we will be out and about seeing the world………… full time.

We are out of the fast lane and taking the slow road ahead

Final Goodbyes

We are blessed to count our friends as family, and even more blessed when we count our family as friends.

We are sad to have to say goodbye to family and friends as we venture over to Western Australia for about the next 9 months. Our few boxes finally arrived by truck from Finley, are all neatly packed into a small storage shed in Brisbane, so now we are free to go!

Summer in Brizzy

We have spent our first 2 weeks of 2020 in the Brisbane area, after spending a few days catching up with our Jessima and family in their new home, its lovely to see how well they have settled in to their new surroundings.
We have also had a great fun catch up with my brother, and cousin and did some family reminiscing. We miss family and friends dearly when on the road.

Looking back toward Sandgate/Brighton where we lived prior to 2000.


We are having 8 nights on the beach front at Woody Point, where we are hoping to get a little fitter doing morning beach walks.  But, summer is pretty precarious, there are the horrendous bush fires, storms, current king tides and strong winds,  and more much needed rain on its way. So we take each day as it comes. We are catching up on reading, family history, and if the weather is nice we hope to get our bikes out for a ride whilst here.

The HMQS Gayundah wreck, (built in Newcastle on Tyne 1884, at Woody Point, slowly giving in to erosion. Ironically it was beached here in 1958 to help prevent erosion.
