Happy Birthday Rod

Today was Rod's birthday (Ben's dad). Happy birthday Rod we hope you have a lovely lunch at Woodlands - it's a beautiful venue.

We leave at about 7.45am to head up to Fraser Island. We got to Chermside when Ben realised he left the permit at home, so we had to turn around and get them.

So we left home again at 8.05am and got up to Rainbow Beach around 11am.

We had lunch and got the last of our supplies (hot chook, fresh bakery bread etc) and then drove up to Inskip Point and got the barge over to Fraser island. It's like a 10 minute trip on the barge to Fraser and costs $85!

Anyway we head up Fraser and it's 100klms long and we're travelling really well until we get stuck behind this massive bl**dy boat who is bogged on the one way track!

We were stuck behind it for an hour (and we were only 10 minutes from Orchid Beach - so that was really frustrating, but the kids were pretty good.

We got to Marloo (the house) and unpacked and the kids played happily and then we had an early dinner and early to bed. Lights go off at 11pm (as it runs on a generator) so it's a good excuse to go and get some shut eye!

Mike and Kate come tomorrow.
