Happy New Year!








Hi Everyone,

Well we have had a wonderful first Christmas here in Etty Bay.

Ate too much & definitely drank toooo much! I guess you can all guess what our New Year's Resolution is going to be :)

We had a wonderful time with our Daughter Shantelle & her Fiancee Peter visiting us.
We had the usual big roast meal:

Pete certainly enjoyed it!


Me cutting the Ice Cream Pudding



The next day after a very lazy morning we went down to the beach.
great Fish & Chips!
Just Relaxing



 This fellow was on the tree next to us:

This big fella was on the tree next to us!



A beautiful day on the beach!


The next day we drove up past Cairns to Hartleys Crocodile Adventures:

There are other animals as well as Crocs


Jabiru

Cassowarys

Kangaroos

They are very friendly

This beautiful Parrot

Kookaburra's

Very Sleepy!









































Of course they had Crocs & some pretty big ones too!

We nearly lost Pete!






Imagine seeing him in the water next to you !

Then on Saturday there was a huge fire across from us in the bush:



It was still burning last night, but it has been raining pretty much all day today so I think it would be out now.

Well that's all for now, over the next week or so I will try to get our year in photo's post put on - that always takes a long time.

So Happy New Year & we hope you all have a safe one with many "Happy Travels"

Cheers,
Dave & Shell

  3. Now Shell, surely you're jealous of our heatwave over here??

    A week in excess of 38, over 40 sometimes.......

    Happy New Year to you and Dave (I admit that I am a little jealous. I lovethat area of QLD).
