Hi Cyber Clan!

Apologies for being absent for a while – hopefully these photos of my recent holiday might excuse me?  Have been trying to get down south for months and finally it came together.  Stunning places, good friends and made some new ones.

This is Ballina where I sampled my first Air BnB, the area is stunning with ocean, river, creeks and falls.  The people were so warm and welcoming … just might have to move there?

On Sunday we went to the Channon Markets quite oblivious that it was their 40th anniversary and everyone came out of the hills so to speak.  It was pouring rain when we arrived and with so many attending we had to park in a farmers paddock with a long walk to even get there.  But the quality of the stalls and the entertainment plus the warm friendliness of others made it an exceptional day out!

Then on my return I stopped in Brisbane city to stroll through the Roma Street Gardens only to discover that it was their 15th anniversary so there were special plantings all in bloom.  But this friendly fella attracted my attention …  More photos to come.

Please share some of your holiday pictures and stories?
