Mooloolaba Visit

 

When we were in Queensland a few weeks back we finally managed to get up to Mooloolaba and visit my sister and her family at her new house.  They have recently finished renovating the house which is 5 minutes from the beach.

The house is great and so is the garden and landscaping.  There is a good sized pool and outdoor area and some grass for the kids.  Even the mutt has a better place to play now. 

We went fishing in the arvo with the kids down at the the canals hoping to catch a shark or something similar.  The kids love it and get to pick up dead fish, catch prawns and generally explore.  Even Jenny came along and got into the dead fish, mangroves etc. 

Ted managed to eat an entire packet of chips almost by himself and Wade caught a few small fish, which was good, cause none of us did.

It was a pleasant arvo in a great spot.

The typical wide based stance of a professional fisherman, Ted.  Looking for a big Jew fish or perhaps a Mako shark.

That’s me, camouflaged against the watery back drop so i don’t scare the fish.
