January 21st – February 6th

It was Jesse’s birthday on the 21st January, we went to the movies and then to the pancake parlour. His friend that he has met here in the caravan park since we arrived also came with us.
We got him some golf clubs for his birthday. He is starting to play golf with David..

We have really enjoyed out stay here at Kirra Beach, it has been very relaxing.

We were going to make out way up the Sunshine coast and then to Bundaberg for work but there is no work available.

David has found a job bricklaying so we will be leaving here on Friday 6th February. We will be staying at a caravan park closer to Brisbane.

They held mini olympics in the caravan park.

Our retired friends, Joy and Bruce that we have met on our trip are also in Queensland. They came to visit us today. It was really nice to see them again.

My mum, dad and my niece Cassie arrived here on the 3rd January. They are staying here for two weeks.

I was really happy to see them all as I have not seen any of my family since we left home.

Mum and Dad are staying at mum’s cousins house and Cassie is staying here with us for two weeks. We went out to mum’s cousin’s Patsy’s house a few times. They have a really nice house at the bottom of Mount Tambourine.

We did all the theme parks again when Cassie arrived. Cassie is like Jesse and she will go on any ride. She is having a really good time going to all the parks with us. Emily is really enjoying having her big cousin here with her.

It was raining when we first got there.

Our friend Marc, Fiona and the kids arrived in Queensland so we went to Movie World with them. Jesse stayed with them for two nights. He had a really good time as we have not seen Kyle and Jaxson for about 12 months.

Two weeks passed by very quickly, it was sad saying goodbye to mum, dad and Cass. Emily was also very sad that Cassie was leaving. She loved having her big cousin here.

Gold Coast

December 17th - 31st December

We are really enjoying our stay here at Kirra Beach. It is a lot quieter here at Coolangatta than at Surfers Paradise.

We went to Byron Bay for the day on the 18th December as Joanne, Ish and Jake and Ebony are staying here. We went there for the day and had some lunch. It was nice to catch up with some family.

The next day we went to Bundaberg and stayed with our old neighbours. They moved up there just before we left for our trip. We stayed at there house for three nights. We all had a really good time and they showed us around Bundaberg, Coral Cove and Bargara.

We might see if we can get some work here and come back after we leave Kirra.

We spent Christmas day this year with David’s sister Andrea. We all went to her friends house who lives in Redland Bay. It was nice to be around a family member on Christmas day. I was a little homesick today as this is the first Christmas I have not been with my family. We spoke to everyone from home so that was really nice.


 Xmas Morning

We have been spending a lot of time taking the kids to the theme parks. We have been to all the theme parks many times.

They have lots of different activities here at this caravan park for the kids to do which is really nice. Jesse and Emily are having such fun.

We have not been to the beach as many times as we would of liked to. There have been a lot stingers in the beach here, so we have not swum.

David’s friend Brendan, Kirilly and two children arrived in the Gold Coast on Boxing day so we have been to the theme parks with them.

We went to Wet’n Wild for the day on New Years Eve, with Brendan, Kirilly and the girls, Andrea also came. We then all went out for dinner that night. We were all pretty tired as we were at Wet’n Wild all day, plus we had to walk to the restaurant.
