Not Maryborough again!!!

Bundaberg, Australia

I received a call from the bank early this morning, the bank clerk and myself are now friends, and she advised me that I couldnt complete my business in Bundeberg today or tomorrow because if was the 'Bundy Show' (two days public holidays). So, you guessed it, we were back to Maryborough again to complete the business. Today is Market day in Maryborough so the town had swelled and there were lots of stall which Glenn and the kids could explore while I sorted matters out. I forgot to mention that the last night at Wongi disaster arrived as the laptop died, the inverter died, Rileys watch broke and Cailin's hair tie broke (She likes me to add this when I am giving the litany of disasters). So while I was sorting matters in the bank Glenn was speaking to Dell, and the inverter people working out solutions. This all makes the story even richer, it would be boring if everything always went smoothly. We sadly said good bye to Maryborough and headed for Bundeberg where the focus was not on rum or ginger been but only on the 'thunderberg show' (as Cailin called it). We arrived in time to experience the show with all the usual show gear but also pig races, wood chopping, equestrian events and lots of dust. We had a good time despite Cailin hurting her knee on the slide. After the show we headed out of Bundeberg towards Gin Gin. We were looking for a place to lay our heads and we found this in Sharon which was a natural reserve where we could camp for the night. We played cards mainly hearts while Caitlin played with the faux brats she found in her Show bag.

Can't believe you and Glenn didn't try and keep up with the McKenna family and enter the woodchopping. Do you remember when Lousie and Sean won!

Hi, why not Maryborough, I think you better return, because I heard today that they, all 25000 of them, have lost the record of the biggest pub crawl to a place in America (I am suprised you didn;t tell us about that little bit of hsitory Michelle. They hope to rectify that very soon. Your family could have helped to boost the numbers!

I was unaware of the pub crawl record or otherwise I would have added this worthy piece of information to my blog. As for the woodchop I do not believe that I have the strength or fortitude that my younger sister has. I think I will leave that mantle to her.

Good to see Caitlin keeping things in perspective. Lucky no further dramas happened to her like, the lead in her coloured pencil breaking, dropping her toast butter side down or getting a scuff mark on her shoes.

They would have been caitlinastrophes!
