Southport Broadwater
Gold Coast
The park at Warwick, Oasis Big 4 was $31 a night, the most
expensive yet. It was only for one night and we needed a dump point before we
got to Shirley and Stewart’s. We don't put any chemicals in the cassette when we use the domestic
dumps. Some parks don't provide dump points.
We noticed the tyre was leaking again and asked Stewart
where the local tyre place was to get it fixed.Heading for the Gold Coast, the stupid GPS took us way out of where we wanted to go, including th Mt. Tamborine road. It must have the worst steep decents and narrow in parts. We had to pull over for a bus then passed four more. Mt Tamborine is a popular tourist spot .
We were at the Gold Coast by lunchtime and John went to get
the tyre fixed. They said it was an embedded screw and was quickly fixed. Lovely to see Shirl looking well after her illness last year. She looks a little frail but coping well. Michelle
and the children came over in the afternoon, we didn't see Owen as he is away working for a mining
company in Myles.
We enjoyed our stay and caught up on all the news. We had lunch with Kylie on Thursday in
Australia Fair. Robyn came for afternoon tea. She is down to see a specialist from Moranbah.

John and Cheryl
We left the Gold Coast after breakfast on Friday and called
in to see Cheryl, John’s cousin in Burpengary, north of Brisbane for lunch. We had a nice catch up.
We drove through to Glenn and Ali’s via the back roads, past Australia Zoo.
They are about 15 mins from the zoo. I love that the shire have named the main road, Steve Irwin
Way. The twins’ school are entering a competition doing a dance and story theme
on Steve and his work for the animal
environment. I went to the rehearsal last night. One of the
Australia Zoo staff came to wish the 86 children good luck in the competition to
be held in two week’s time.

Elijah is playing rugby league this year, I’m glad that his
team won and we were there to see it. All the children are growing tall, it’s
been a year since we saw them. We still
have the rest of the weekend with them before we continue our trip.
