The warmth continues in Brisbane





Well here we are in sunny and warm Brisbane--the Gold Coast. We left beautiful Cairns at 6 am yesterday (December 21) for Brisbane and then took the train for an hour into the suburb of Biggera Waters. It was a family reunion: my Aunt Rita and Uncle Colin and their three daughters Linda, Lisa and Lara (also known as Ra) who each brought their children. Linda's children are Liam, Cael and Keely, Lisa's are Morgan, Dylan, and Tegan and Lara's are Isis and Ishka.

The first picture shows the back of Colin and Rita's house with the dock on the river that leads to the ocean. The second picture shows all the cousins: Blayne, Natasha, Linda, Liam, Dylan, Lisa, Morgan, Lara, Isis, Cael, Keely, Tegan and Ishka. In the last picture Blayne and Keely behind him are swimming at Rainbow Bay near Colin and Rita's house. The skyline of Brisbane is in the background. We took a drive along the beaches today, including Surfer's Paradise.

Wonderful family pictures. Looks like everyone is enjoying the meeting of the distant relatives. Say hello from the snowy north country/continent
