Caught our flight back to Brisbane at lunchtime on the 12th June which gave us some time in the morning to do some last minute souvenir shopping in Alice Springs. Arrived at Wendy and Rob’s about 8.00pm after we stopped at the Ettamogah Pub for dinner on the way home. Coco wasn’t as excited as we thought she would be to see us, she has been too spoilt and well looked after in our absence however the next morning she was much happier to see us. Wendy and Rob had friends over for lunch, Ian and Daphne who are moving back to WA as soon as they can sell their house in Imbil, Qld. They are actually moving to the Lifestyle Village in Busselton. I’m sure we will see them when they get there, hopefully for them it will be soon. It was a long weekend in Qld so on the Monday we went to the Caravan and Camping Show with Wendy and Rob in Brisbane. It was huge! Lots of exhibits, caravans, stalls etc. It would be comparable in size to the one in Melbourne. Surprisingly we didn’t buy much which is unusual as there is usually heaps that John can’t live without. Rob and Wendy specifically wanted to look at a brand of lightweight caravans but we were all very disappointed in them and soon found out why they were lightweight, very plastically. After looking at heaps of caravans I think Wendy and Rob have come to the same conclusion as we have that it is best to stay with current van and revamp it. John has been busy making new holland blinds for our van. The ones we had were extremely shabby and dirty and we were able to get some holland blind blockout material from Spotlight that was on special. He spent quite a bit of time making them with the aid of Rob’s sewing machine and he has done a fantastic job and they look great. Not something I could have done. Wendy and Rob’s block backs onto a forest and I have been going on some lovely walks with the dogs. You can walk forever here and all the walks are lovely. We are heading down to NSW on the weekend to visit with an old work mate of Johns who lives just across the border (inland from Lennox Heads where the tornado/cyclone went through recently).
