... a clothing exhibit of old fasioned party and wedding dresses. <br><br>We then headed up the coast to Hervey Bay via the Glass House Mountains and a kite festival at Coloum Bay, and we have booked ourselves on a trip to Fraser Island. On the way we passed a few more 'Big Things!' including a pineapple and a shell.

Tuesday started with a shopping trip to get sunhats and strong sunscreen for us.<br>In the afternoon we flew to Proserpine Airport on the Whitsunday Coast and caught the shuttle bus to the Coral Sea Resort at Airlie Beach. The sound of the waves right outside the window was lovely but got a bit much and we shut the balcony door to sleep.<br><br>Had our first taste of Aussie fish and chips and they were lovely, but one portion would have been ample for sharing. We'll know next time.<br>

ch bin kurz aufgewacht... Dann bin ich noch mal aufgewacht... Kurz bevor ich wieder eingeschlafen wäre, kam mir in meinem schlaftrunkenen Zustand der Gedanke auf die Uhr zu gucken. &gt;&gt;&gt;HALB 8&lt;&lt;&lt; ???!!! Mein Handywecker sollte vor 15 Minuten klingeln! Ich verstehe bis jetzt nicht, wieso er das nicht tat! Ich habe auf mein Handy geguckt und er war gestellt.. auf 8:15! Immer noch.. Mh, toller Start ...

After arriving in Brisbane we were met by Katherine parents, my parents, Lindsay and the kids. It was great when we came through the doors and the kids ran up to meet us. After our wonderful welcoming I went and picked up our dog Gator it was so great to see him and have some time around him. The next 6 days were very busy seeing our friends and family and running errands to make sure we could come back to Scotland.
