26th May 2011 see's us off to Tassie for a very quick trip to check out if we want to travel it more seriously in the future with the caravan, this trip we will travel the east coast, don't think we will have much time for any more, unless of course it snows then we might just have to chase the snow.
I will keep this updated while we are away, our rented mobile home has NO T.V, I guess I will have plenty of time to blog after our daily adventures.

Canungra Weekend at James Sharp Park 9th & 10 April 2011
Well what a weekend, great place great company and the ultimate in food and booze. We arrived at the park at around 8.30 am to find dozens of campers already set up, took a quick look around and found this great spot close to the toilets for those who needed to take a stroll during the wee small hours. We had our own picnic table and great fire pit, after we set up and helped Julianne get her new rig sorted & baked some Wow factor scones with jam & cream, then arrived the Wicked camper (s) Lee & Barry, then Liz arrived later in the afternoon just in time for happy hour, what a feast Barry supplied with cheeses of several varieties, grapes & loads of other goodies, not to mention the bottles of red, white & blue Oh no!! Beer of course, plenty of drinks food and laughs, Lani & Betty Boop checked each other out from top to toe and agreed they were both ok & happy to spend the weekend with each other.
Time for the camp ovens to come out, firewood hadn't arrived so we had to resort to the heat beads, 2 great meals a chicken country hot pot and beef & vegges, crusty bread then Miss L made the famous sticky date putting. 5 Star Camping at it's best.
Retiring to the fire pit after the wood finally arrived, Liz brought out the marshmallows & chocolate to toast on the fire. We sat around sharing old times toasting marshmallows and drinking good wine. Doesn't get much better than this !!
The two dogs were buggered after a day of sleeping in the sun. Mum our beautiful Burmese cat came along for the weekend too, bit skittish for a while but soon settled in when she found the bed & generally just enjoyed the weekend good girl no trouble.
Well Sunday morning left overs, there were a couple of left over people after several reds, so they figured that left over chocolate was the go for the second hand heads, couple of cups of tea, hot crossed buns and cake everyone soon felt better.
Sitting around laughing about the weekend and just kicking back, thought we would have a game of tennis on a stick except Lee just couldn't find any soft ground to stick her stick so that idea was cancelled.
All in all we had a great weekend and would say James Sharp Park is a great get away close to home, Get their early this place is popular.
