JANUARY

This cacti plant of Tracey's flowers for less than 24 hours normally opening on dusk.  It has flowered numerous times since we have been at her place so just have to take photos each time.

Wayne and I packed a picnic lunch and watched the Australian water skiing championship races on the Burnett River for the day. 6/1/16.

Saturday 9th Jan. I drove to Gympie with Traacey to pickup Jayden and Madison for them to stay until Wednesday when Wayne and I travel to Brisbane to fly out to NZ to visit family.  Sunday morning Tracey decides to take Jayden and Madi down to the Innes Park skate park with their scooters.  Within 1 minute Madi had gone down the ramp only to fall and break her wrist.  Off to hospital Madi, Tracey and I go to get her fixed up.  3 hours later with her arm in plaster we get home to celebrate Tracey's birthday with some friends.  Craig and Kylie arrive and take Madi home with them the next afternoon.

Meanwhile Jayden stays and Wayne, Tracey, Jayden and I go to Elliott Heads for them to try out their snorkeling equipment.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACEY  12/1/2016  -  44 Today.
The 4 of us enjoy a yummy lunch at Grunskey's by the river.  Lovely setting but still can witness the destruction of the 2013 floods Bundaberg experienced.  (Will show later the photos - March)

Tracey, Jayden and I walked our lunch off looking/exploring the Barolin Rocks and waterpools.  Heaps of small fish and shellfish abound, no wonder many folk come and dive from here.
