13 Jul, 2010 - Qantas Museum Longreach



Kevin.... or was it Peter, take every opportunity to play little jokes on us all. I have had my thongs tied together and Max somehow was in the firing line of a champagne cork....but their turn will come. This morning we enjoyed another superb breakfast, it just tastes better when cooked outside, then off to the Qantas Museum. Max was off to the dentist as he suddenly has a troublesome crown but will have to wait until Darwin to have it fixed. The Museum was well worth the visit and like everything out here, depends on the tourist. I must say most of the towns are teaming with all types of caravans, poptops, campers and 4WD vehicles so the "Baby Boomer" is contributing to the economy. Dinner was by candlelight under our awning with Peter excelling himself cooking Roast Lamb/veges in his weber, assisted by Karen with more veges and I cooked Baked Pears with crumble and Vanilla Bean Icecream....very civilized camping. Tomorrow we are travelling to Boulia via Winton.

  2. Hi Guys,

    Glad to hear that you are all eating well. As I am sure Kev will know letting Dad cook the toast for breakfast the other morning can be a bit dangerous. We have had experiences of warm bread in the past.

    Maddison wants to know when she can meet Pop (aka Pedro) is going to let her have a sleep over in the van!

    Just a note for Faye and Max to lock your van door as a few beds have been short sheeted in the past.

    Julie, Mat, Maddi, Anna and Babsy

  4. Hello Baby Boomers. I have mastered the sign in and will now be a serial pest blogger. Max after all that dentistry work and still you have problems. Your daily menu sounds very inviting and by the end of the trip Max will be re-programmed and a real SNAG-now that I have seen the picture that u do cook. Great to see you are all enjoying a fabulous adventure. Tonight has been very sad for the Thurwoods, our family cat Lola had been missing since Sunday -tonight found RIP-confirmed snake bite. Many tears flowing. Remember Faye, get those boys back when they least expect a practical joke for the most impact-they will learn not to mess with Faysee. Take care,have fun to all Jill

    p.s this has defaulted under Chloe's hotmail name...not my pet name!!
