Christmas in September Right Down the Coast

After arriving back from overseas, our plan was to head south to Tasmania for about 6 months but before we could do that we had to have Christmas with family in Clermont, Mackay, Rockhampton, Ipswich and Brisbane.
Christmas in Clermont was lovely and we picked up the van which boarded with Annie and family while we were away.

We then came into Mackay and parked up at Kylies at Rural View and Kathy put on one of the best Christmas Dinners ever.  She worked so hard to make it special.  Thanks Kath, we both really appreciate it.

Down to Rocky and Tracy had booked the Frenchville Sports Club which proved a bit noisy for my aging mother in law but we all had a great night.

From there we headed down to Brisbane and had a great meal with Andrew and Tom.

The next night we lined up for a similar night with Brett, Katrina, Mia and Eithen in Ipswich.

With our Christmas parties out of the way we were all set to head to Tasmania and cross on the Ferry on the 9th November.
