The top of the hill is beautifully laid out for all to enjoy. Joggers, Walkers tourists all enjoy exploring the hilltop.

Les and Mandy were away when we arrived in Townsville, but to their credit they left us their car, their home and a long detailed list of "to do's."
Here we are on Castle Hill. One gets a wonderful view of the whole of Townsville from this vantage point.

Who could resist Rachel? I just love this photie. We had such fun posing in the garden. We have had a wonderful time in Perth and thank the DuPonts for all the treats we enjoyed. We will see you again in November.

While staying with du Ponts we visited the Innes family who are very happy living in Perth. It was great catchingup. I wonder why everyone is looking down?

Perth has all sorts of wonderful places to visit. This was taken from a viewpoint in the Botancal Gardens. Sue was so wise to take a pram for all three children.

Soon we were off to spend time with the DuPonts who live in the Perth Hills. How lovely to see Sue and Al and their three children, Ben is 6, Rachel 3, and Mathew just 7months.

While in Melbourne I was delighted to trace our long lost friend Claire O'Connor from our Johannesburg days. Thanks to the programme called Facebook Sarah traced Claire's whereabouts and we were able to spend time together and catch up. I hope we keep in touch forever now.

How about a "zoo" in the middle of nowhere. It was fun showing Molly all the Australian animals. We bought buckets of food which we used to feed the animals.Molly had a ball.
