LEST WE FORGET

It's Anzac Day today. The kids have been doing some reading and activities at "school" this week to give them some idea of what went on in the wars, drawing pictures and making lists of what Anzac Day means to them. No matter what we say they can never really understand what it was like, and I guess I wouldn't really want them to. Lets hope none of our children ever have to experieince something so frightening.

As it is still school holidays in NSW we also had a few fun days this week. The library put on some free activities so the kids got to see "Brian the magician" on Tuesday and yesterday they made book marks and had story time. After that we went to the shopping complex to see "Rover McWoof" who put on a little show. Will even won a little prize for his dancing! Must take after his mother.

News on the work front is good. Chris now has 2 jobs so we are in the process of sorting out the best opportunity for continuing our travel plans. At this stage we are moving on to Bundaberg in the next week or two. There is a job due to start in May hauling out sugar cane and before it starts Chris will need to complete a week long course which can only be done in Mackay. We will get settled in Bundy and then Chris will drive to Mackay for the week beginning 18th May. Puts a strain on the finances but what else can we do? I'm looking forward to the move I must say. The kids need some stimulation to keep them out of trouble and although the weather has improved here in Lismore I'm ready for a change.

Lighthouse at Byron Bay

Last weekend we went for a drive to Byron Bay. Went up to the lighthouse which involved a drive up a narrow, windy road close to the edge of the cliff that made me a little nervous, especially when we were sharing the road with lots of tourists! Chris showed us the roof top that is used for hangliders to take off. It was too windy, even for them which was a shame, I would have liked to show the kids. Couldn't go into the lighthouse but the view from the top of the cliff was amazing.
