Good Old Chinwagging

A good old chinwag is a part of the fun of life, telling tales of exploits in travel, of that fishing trip or that thing that happened on the way to the pub. Here’s some of the fun we have had with family, friends and while earning a living. We enjoy telling about it as much as doing it.

If you want to know when we post another exploit then register and we will send you a mail.

Hope you enjoy

The country side is dry and the grasses and bushes appear as if a big bush fire had just rushed through ...

This turned out one of the best island holidays we have had, we meet a great bunch of people through family and greeted and treated above and beyond by some of Chris and Barbs ...

First Fish on the Caboolture River

We went out in the boat for the first time in months this weekend, before any launching of the boat, even a little aluminium dinghy like ours takes a while to prepare, this time it took a couple of hours, however when finished I thought I had organised it all. We had intended to get away around 9am but didn't actually ...
