April: Brisbane and Hervey Bay

Easter Break: Time to fly to Brisbane and then drive up to Hervey Bay

So before I knew it the holidays had come around. Good Friday I flew out to Brisbane and picked up the hire car and drove to see Whitney and Jordan...first time I had seen them since not being able to attend their wedding due to work etc last October. It was a very relaxed night with much to catch up on.

The following morning I drove upto Hervey Bay to the Bay Bed & Breakfast to visit with my old mates from Jabiru days - Cheryll & Michel LeCointre. Helen Waterson [another long time friend from Jabiru] drove down from Tanum Sands for the Easter weekend as well.

We went for a scenic drive on Easter Sunday - gorgeous places all around this area.

We of course found time for a few beverages and the new Moet Imperial Ice was divine...Helen assured us we needed all the extra bits in the drink to make it unforgettable!

Monday afternoon I headed back South and after a long wait by the side of the road [due to a mechanical problem with the hire car] eventually arrived to spend the night with Sophie Perry and her fiancee Mark. I had not seen Sophie for a while so again lots to catch up on.
A fun night was had.

Unfortunately the next morning I had to head off early for my flight back to Darwin.
Another holiday done and dusted...but so good to catch up with so many people in just the few days I had!

Now - time for thew annual Department of Education Leaders Conference for the next 2 days!
