A day on Stradbroke Island

Family on board!

This is either Mum or Dad.












We seem to have lost one of the chicks. At least this one is doing well and is starting to get feathers.

New year new life!

Well hard to believe when looking out our kitchen window at Blue Heron sitting placidly in our canal berth, that not far away are scenes of kaos and destruction caused by mother nature.

The past couple of weeks have been unreal with heavy rain followed by severe floods, flash floods and rivers breaking banks across Brisbane and Queensland. Like most we have been watching it on tv.

In amidst of this a pair of Magpielarks have nested under Blue Heron's radar dish. We have been watching them take turns on the nest over Christmas. One will call to the other to tell him or her to move then swoop down while the other flys off to find food. They are known for the duet type singing. It is quite distinctive.

Finally the waiting has paid off and we have babies! Here they are- our latest visitors on board.

Kate's 12th Birthday

Back to the iceskating rink - a special request from the Birthday Girl. A good way to cool off in Brisbane during summer too.

A fun day with a sleep over to follow.

Primary School Graduation

On the Move - North a bit!

Here are some pictures of our new place. We love having Blue Heron at the bottom of our garden. We live not far from the centre of Cleveland. There is a railway station nearby (out of hearing) and we can walk to the local Library. The Redland Libraries are very good too.

Our neighbours are great - retired couples on either side. One of them have given us two small kayaks to paddle around the canals and invited the children to use their pool anytime! Hamish has already had his first sleepover 3 doors along - he's a fast worker. There is ony 1 girl in the street and Kate has yet to meet her.

Can't wait to go exploring. Cleveland has a lighthouse which is about 2 k's away we think.
