Tonight is my last night in my home town with my extended visit coming to a close .... well, for now - but that's another story. It's the tropics and it is POURING tonight. It is good, it is needed.
It has been such a precious time with my children; simply blending in with the routine of day to day life and immersing myself in this north Queensland tropical town (albeit in the crisp, cool months) all over again; revisiting the old, and exploring the new..... and catching up with some old friends.
I wonder what Christmas in the tropics would be like? Mmm, now there's a thought. Here in Oz we melt.
This time tomorrow night I will be back 'home' (full day in transit!) Many things have occurred during my absence but most concerning for me is that the 'Team' have not faired entirely well but an update on that will ensue after I have all of the details.
I'll be back blogging in a few short days, and I'll leave you with some pics to enjoy - a tribute to these amazing people in my life - who just happen to be 'mine'.

.......... and a few shots I've taken with my new CAM, playing with some of the features when visiting the Hervey's Range Heritage Tea Rooms. 'Spice-girl' totally surprised me with a Sunday drive up to the Tea Rooms - it was a beautiful day and a wonderful outing. (click any pics to enlarge for reading or better detail)
(This is my personal favourite)
...... and an Aussie billabong out the back along the walking trail
and a little further I was charmed to see a real "bush Chapel" through the trees - so totally unexpected
...... a lot of old things were strewn around
..... and some shiny new beauties were carefully parked, but not a sign of the riders anywhere Jim B.!
We did NOT choose the Kopi Luwak from the menu selection! Has anyone out there indulged in this?
HAPPY BLOGGING and TAKE CARE
