Sunday 2nd....... Peter and his mate Tom, Chris and I played golf at Canungra Golf Club.
Over the few days Isabel and I added to the Moran Family Tree (The ancestors of our mother over seven generations). I had gathered more family history from relatives I visited around Atherton and its surrounds and then of course as our own children have married and had children of their own it needed to be updated. This family tree was first prepared by a cousin Dr Barry Moran and another cousin Justice John Slattery and was completed from 1836 to 2006!
Peter has a 'Man Shed' and enjoys doing woodwork. He made me a great chopping board and wood encased biro pen.
Thankyou for a wonderful few days and your ever warm hospitality and great friendship.
We left Mount Nathan on Wednesday 5th October and decided to venture back inland travelling to and staying overnight near Rathdowney.
Thursday 6th travelled on a very wet day (only our third day of rain since leaving Newcastle five months ago) passing through Warwick and onto Inglewood where we caught up with a great golfing friend Margaret and her husband Colin. They are visiting their daughter who lives in Inglewood. We chatted and sipped on a coffee at the local cafe. After saying goodbye we travelled onto Yelarbon where we camped the night at the Yelarbon Recreation Area Camp Site.
Friday 7th October.......travelled 40klms to Goondiwindi to my niece Libby, her husband Drew and their four children's home. Busy household with four very young children. Christian had a slept-over at the school, Imogen arrived home from kindy (pre-school) with a painting she had painted for me and we got lots of cuddles and kisses from 8 month old twins Angus and Patrick.
Saturday 8th October......left Goondiwindi and travelled to Bingara where we are camped along the Gwydir River. We plan to stay a few days and enjoy the serenity and also have a game of golf at the Bingara Golf Club.

Hello Friends, You are certainly on your south bound journey now. How lucky are you - three rainy days in five months! I have to ask, who will use the cutting board - Marea or Chris?? Looking forward to catching up again soon.
