Shade, roller coasters and mountains...

We're still here in Murwillumbah and have decided to stay put until the end of April when all the school holidays should be over.

Our new annex walls made of shade cloth are working out great. If you need anything made up of canvas or shadecloth, I recommend you contact Tony at ULTIMA Canvas & Vinyl Products, Lismore.

Last week we made it into Queensland, at last! We had a day riding the roller coasters at WB Movie World. If you are after a VERY fast , VERY smooth roller coaster, try out the Superman Escape ride. For $63 though, I think the park needs to offer a bit more as there didn’t seem to be that much there. Afterwards took a drive back down through Surfers Paradise and stopped off for a bit of shopping at Pacific Fair. Surfers hasn’t changed much except for a few more extremely tall buildings.

Yesterday , we took a drive up into the Boarder Ranges National Park. The view from Blackbutts Lookout is spectacular. The drive up there is a long, narrow, winding dirt road and unfortunately, it was a bit of a hazy day so I didn’t bother taking a photo. Hopefully, we’ll get up there again on a clear day.

While we were gallivanting around, Angel had a sleepover at the Home for the Paws kennel. It’s set on a cattle farm nestled on a hillside in a pretty place called Dulguigan. It’s run by a lovely couple who clearly love dogs. Angel was made very welcome and was given lots of play time with her neighbours, a pair of poodles. We've booked her in for one day a week for the next 3 weeks to give us some doggy free days.

Well, not much more to report for now. Take care all.
