1st to 7th Jan, 2023 Erica & Terry’s place, Bundaberg, Qld

Went for a walk to start the new year off with a good resolution that we carried out for the first day at least!

Day 2 another walk.

Sadly Erica went back into hospital after we visited her oncologist. Hopefully they will find what is causing her arm and leg to lose strength etc. Terry is well though we are all concerned for Erica.

Had an amazing lightning and thunder show. One flash and clap happened over our heads that we thought it hit the shed in the back yard! Received about 19mm of rain which was good. Steve had just mowed the lawn so now it will just grow back quicker!

Another cousin of Stephen’s from his father’s side, called in on their way back to Cairns. Marijke, Bart and Ryan have been having fun on their mountain bikes doing trails in Vic and NSW. When they arrived at the house Marijke spotted this lizard so Steve and Ryan got some photos of it.

After visiting with Terry I took them to the hospital to visit Erica then they headed off again towards Cairns after a photo with Erica.

Steve and I went for a drive then walk around Alexandria Zoo beside the Burnett River. We spotted the lizard the same as they one they found - an Eastern Bearded Dragon.

In the sand near the playground we spotted some old bones! What a great idea. Interesting to read the dates that these animals were wandering around with the Aborigines.

We drove across the old bridge which had a toll on it when it was built - one penny. Drove down the boat ramp area which is below it and found out we could fit the Getz in the support area under the bridge. I love the way things were built with pride back in the day so they are still a lovely thing to look at.
