Gympie Muster 2009

The annual Gympie Muster is held over the last weekend in August. This year we attended for 4 days Thursday to Sunday.

We stayed in the wonderful Banjos camp area, it adds to the cost but it makes life up there so much easier, and the profits go to a good cause.

This year I managed to talk Maria into coming along with me, and it looks like we will be coming back every second year.

This year the entertainment was good but something was missing (every other year I have attended Adam Brand and Lee kernaghan have been playing).

Another plus this year was that we didn't have a repeat of the flood from 2007, however every day was in the low 30's Deg C (very hot for Winter)

Nick and Dionnes Wedding

We attended Nick and Dionnes wedding on the 8/8/2009.

Maria and I were both part of the wedding party. The wedding was great, the reception was great, and it was about time. Nick and Dionne were dating before Maria and I got together, and Maria and I have been married now for over 4 years.

Below are some photos of from the day.

Visit To Russell's

Maria and I recently visited Russell, Sharyn, and Alex up at their property near Childers.

Below are a couple of photos of Alex and Russell playing with the bike ramp that Alex built..

Alex making a jump on his trail bike

Russell threating to do the jump in his tractor.

One unexpected side effect of the visit was that Alex purchased a Wii console while we were up there at Hervey Bay, we liked it so much we ended up buying one as well a couple of weeks later once the renovations were completed.
