The Rain Has Stopped

There isn't much news today, but at least the showers have stopped but we still have a strong blustery wind. All Gold Coast beaches were closed yesterday, it was just too dangerous to go into the water! Showers over the last three days has seen a total of 70mls fall (or just under 3").

In a previous life I used to get to the footy each week when we lived in Melbourne. There was a group of us who would meet regularly and enjoy the day together. We have all grown older but still try to keep in touch. One of the crew Max Lanyon and his wife Margaret are keen caravaners and enjoy coming north from Victoria to stay at the nearby Dicky Beach caravan park.

Max and Margaret popped in yesterday afternoon (as the photo here shows). It was great to catch up, share stories and update each other on recent happenings. We will catch them again for a meal this evening at our nearby Thai Restaurant.
