Leaving NSW behind us, our first stop was with Rod, Leonie, Ellie and Caitlin on Friday night in Brisbane. As always, the kids had a great time playing together and the adults had a great time catching up over a few drinks. Rich and Rod took turns unleashing the force and sleeping on the couch until the Empire was defeated at 1:30am. Not sure that the achievement still felt worthwhile when Rod had to leave the house at 6:30am for work the next morning!
The rain followed us on Saturday out to Kingaroy to the beautiful home of Tim, Michelle, Oliver, Lily and Elliot. As usual, we kept them waiting. Spent many hours of great conversation over great food and got to take in some of the local sights on Sunday. Kingaroy is famous for peanuts, Sir Joh Bjelke-Peterson and Jesus (it’s true!). We didn’t get to see any of its stars - disappointing!

The hospitality was so great we decided to stay another night. We gave in to the kid's nagging and took them to Australia Zoo...
where we mostly amused ourselves taking stupid photos...
Australia doesn’t disappoint when it comes to cheesy ‘big’ things. The Big Mower at Beerwah – tick.
