Hope all goes really well, Ian. The little bit of rain will freshen things up beautifully.
Unfortunately we have to go in the opposite direction - to Townsville.

We missed out on most of the rain last night. It seems most of Brisbane received from 40mm to 135mm, all we got was a bit of drizzle. It's been four months without rain.

I sincerely hope all goes well for you and Judy on the weekend and that it is a total success.
When I spoke with you in Nambour I think I told you that I might be moving into your area....Well QR have decided to send me to Gladstone, so I have bought a home in Tannum Sands...I will certainly give you a call if I get a chance when I am next down in Brisbane.

Hi Andrew.
Good to hear from you.
The offer of plants still stands.
May see you one day.

Haven't escaped yet Pam......still got 7 weeks to go but will be settled there for Christmas......back to civilisation and out of the desert!

Thanks Ian, I may take you up on the offer just depends on what I retrieve from Bundaberg.... Some of my rarities are being baby sat by friends there. After 2 1/2 years I will have to free up their shadehouse room by removing my stuff. The house I bought just simply doesn't have the same yard space of my Bundy home but I am still happy with it
