The past four days, traveling from Rosslyn Bay to Mackay have been some of the most beautiful to date. Countless small islands, many with inviting beaches and little evidence of "civilisation". Around here, tides are greater than six meters. That means very wide beaches at low tide and extra care while anchoring. Anyway, it looks very much like our country the way its original inhabitants knew it.
But people have a built-in urge to leave their mark. So it's a tradition for those who cruise North to stop off at Middle Percy and leave a momento of their trip at a couple of beach shacks.
It's now more than three weeks that we left Sydney. We've reached Mackay and to celebrate the birthday season, we're having a different kind of week. We're renting a car for the rest of the week and playing "proper tourist" rather than "part time nomad". Talk again soon.
Hi Joy & Marius,
Will I guess it is party night celebration for that special occasion when you turn 60 and now go and hire a car to look around Mackay. Love from Kevin.
Joy - we were thinking of you on the big day and hope that the bottle of NZ wine was still intact and that you enjoyed it. Still getting dreadful weather here and wish we were back in Oz!
Love to you both.
Skip and Liz
Hi Marius,
I was updating the contacts on my Palm and saw I didn't have an email address for you.
So now I know about Firmwares transformation and your cool boat.
I showed the site to Linda and her comment was that "Your green with envy" :)
We moved from Sydney in January to a rural property in the New England region. So that's my mid-life crisis in a nutshell.
Fair weather and best wishes to you and Joy,
Paul.
