While traveling great distances at home we were reminded about the remarkable beauty of the land we called home. Sue in particular took time (with her new camera) to record some of the things we saw. So we share some of them with you here.
During our Holiday we got a bit of time to do some nature photography. I just happened on this little tragedy. Reminded me of Frodo, except he escaped.
The third wedding of our trip home was Rocky & Chantale's. In all respects if was a lovely wedding. Held at 8am on Sunday morning to give working people time to drive on Saturday from either Sydney (400k South) or Brisbane (6ook North). We also meant time for socializing on Saturday night.
It was held on a bushy headland overlooking a beach and the ocean, you could not think of a nicer setting. The Bride (and bridesmaids) look wonderful. Rocky looked great as well and very happy. It was a marriage of 2 people very much in love and committed to serving the MD.
The reception was held at Surf Club overlooking lighthouse beach. For us a good chance to catch up with some old Crossroads Friends. We travelled up and back with our sons Dave & Rob, so that was a bonus. Rob even managed to catch the Garter so look out girls!
Following a most enjoyable drive north we settled in for a weekend of festivities in Brisbane. Starting with a get together on Friday night with the family and some friends, we got some catch up time with the lovely Sarah. She was the first teacher at the Crossroads teaching and learning Center for its first year of existence. This enabled families to come and work at Crossroads without the children missing out on their Schooling.
The the wedding on Saturday. Both Sarah and Matt looked great and very much in Love. It was a really nice wedding followed by reception at a city golf club. I had the fun of looking after a Web cam of the wedding back to some of the staff at Crossroads who would have loved to have been with us.
It all finished with a nice breakfast with Sarah's family on Sunday morning before heading back down the coast. I have included photos of the dress which I am told the girls like to see.
Talking of catching up with Friends. Here are a few more photos.

Part of the joy of travel home is catching up with old friends. On this trip we got spend a week with our old Crossroads compatriot Adam (Dwaino) as he came with us in the car on our way up to Brisbane for Sarah's wedding.
Our trip was a great adventure and it was great to see the NSW Coast line looking green, despite the dams being empty. We stopped over at Hawkes Nest (where Matt and Wendy joined us), then Ballina on the way. Then we spent a day on the Gold Coast, before heading up to stay with Sue's Brother Tim and Nephew Zacy in Brisbane.
Mr Blue decided to join us on the adventure and really seemed to enjoy himself.
