Christmas at Oasis 2009

This year we did something a little different and all had dinner together before Oasis.

We had a lovely dinner at George's Steak and Seafood at Broadbeach and then dancing from 8pm. It was great to catch up with everyone!

We had a great night out at the Tivoli and saw the all new and improved RCR. They where great! They did there Vegas Show with a female singer doing duets with Eddie. The best show yet!

Mt Cordeaux Sunday 29 Nov

Rob, Phil, Mikey and I all got up early and car pooled it to Mt Cordeaux (about an hour and a half south west of Brisbane). It had been very hot in the last week or so so we thought we would start early and miss the heat, unfortunately there was also a lot of dust/smoke haze about.

Mt Cordeaux is a gradual climb with a well maintained track, so it would be great for a family to do at any fitness level. Most of the track is under the tree canopy so it is nice cool.

The walk to the summit of Mt Cordeaux didn't take too long(just over and hour), so we decided to continue along the trial to Bare Rock.

Except for the long grass at the beginning (keep stamping those feet Phil!) of the track this is also a great walk.

I got to see my first ever carpet snake (harmless) about 7 foot long and also walked the trail with a very large Goanna who only wanted to get away from us.

We were back in time for lunch at Aratulla cafe. Then drove home in a thunderstorm. A great day had by all.
