Mt Cainbable

Have just spent the weekend at Mt Cainbable, near O'Reillys in the Lamington Plateau with Luke and Amanda. It is a very beautiful place with the most spectacular view from a barbecue area I've ever seen, especially at sunset. The weather was very dry and unseasonally warm. We walked about 10km on the Box forest walk near O'Reillys guesthouse and were stopped in our tracks by a huge black snack sunning itself and reluctant to move.

I can't believe that I haven't posted anything for months. I wasn't sure how long the blog remained active. Our year in the UK seems like a distant memory...such is life. But I do love Australia and it's so good to be home...we are so lucky. In a few weeks time we are going to New Zealand for 10 days so I will more actively resume this blog which kept me sane while I was marooned on the other side of the world. I don't care if no-one reads it...I just enjoy writing it and posting photos. Here's a photo I took of a recent water spout viewed froom our back verandah.

blog still active

It's 24th March 2009 and I've been back in Australia for 6 months now...its hard to believe. I have finally arranged my photos into 5 photobooks, one of which I will give to my father for his 85th birthday. The events of 2008 are fading into a distant memory but the photos do keep it alive. Today I am home from work with a shocking head cold. As I look out the window on a beautiful sunny autumn morning a hot air balloon has just appeared above the house. What a great place this is.... I'll probably spend the day reading and lying in the sun. Being sick is not all bad... I'm going to attach a photo my daughter Sarah took of her new braids in the backyard yesterday jsut to see if I can remember how!
