TRYING TO LEAVE ALICE
Well the master games were fantastic and the closing was just as good as the opening with Daryl Braithwaite closing. After that finished the park started to slow down as people started heading south because it gets to hot here and the wet season begins. So apparently when you have seen the Todd River over flow 3 times you are a local, well guess who are locals now haha. The xmas parties started and l got to meet the guys mark worked with, a good bunch and we had a great night out. It was hard saying good bye to Tracey and her family, she was so much fun, on Tuesday nights mark had army so Tracey would come over to my place and we would put on a face mask and then watch family tree, but by the time it finished Traceys mask was all over the place because she would cry that much and mine would crack due to me laughing at her we had such a good time. Vicki and Brian arrived and she is so much like Tracey and they are from Leongatha not far from where we live in Vic. Small world. We get on great and Brian and Mark do to. Well xmas was on us and there were a few of us that weren’t going anywhere, and Marks boys Stephen and Anthony came and had xmas with us so Vicki, Maureen and l organised xmas lunch and tea for who ever wanted to join us, at tea we had about 18 it was great. Xmas eve we put lights around the buggy and Pete dressed up as santa and l drove Vicki and Pete around the park, by the time we got to the camp kitchen we had about 50 people there it was so much fun. New years eve we put on a party for the park and we had the kids up doing the chicken dance we rock and rolled till around 3 in the morning. The boys went back on the 4th o9 and it was a bit sad to see them go but its the grandkids turn next. Mark has been promoted to second in charge at his work so we are staying here until September then will work our way back to vic and spend some time with the family and my daughter Tanis is getting married so will head off again after that. In the mean time the weather is so hot here and thank god for electricity and air cons we are copping, also the pool gets a work out as well. haha So HAPPY NEW YEAR to all and will talk again real soon the happy campers.
