IT HAS BEEN AWHILE

We have been to Brisbane which is where we were meant to be finishing our trip, Ella was so excited to see Ruby,but when we were there it was so busy i couldn't wait to leave after having the slow life it was all to much for me.
We decided to go up to Maroochydore and Noosa but it is all to expensive to move up there it was nice for a trip away.

We were back in Brisbane looking at places to rent but they where all just horrible you pay a fortune and get crap, so this was not making it easy for me to decide.
We then headed to Port Macquarie to see if we like it there and we did but not enough work there.
We are in Coffs Harbour on our way back to Brisbane still not knowing where we will end up. Stay tuned to where the Mannions end up.

MACKAY

We then went to Mackay and stayed in town for few days had a look around. Then we headed out of town to Eton to Marks place Corey, We stayed out there for 5 days we had a great time catching up with them all, the kids really enjoyed spending time with there cousins Alyssa, Kayla and Patrick.
We went out in the ski boat for the the kids swam and just had a great time.
They where excited to see some toys to play with.
We had a hard time getting the kids to leave.
Thanks for having us Corey and Carmel.

ARILIE BEACH

With a quick stop in Townsville we went to Airlie Beach it is the gate way to the islands on the Barrier Reef.
We spent 3 nights enjoying the sun, swimming watching movies on the big out door movie screen at the caravan park.
We didn't visit any of the island this time but we checked out Cedar Falls and Dingo beach.
We had a great time at Airlie Beach and hope to come back again and head over to the islands.

INGHAM

We are now in Brisbane so I'm quite behind so i have found time to catch up.
We stayed with friends, we meet them on our honeymoon quite a few years ago, we haven't seen them for 4 years so it is was nice to spend some time with them.
We were only going to stay for a couple days but ended up staying for 8.
It is so beautiful up here the sugar cane is everywhere so it is very green.

We spent some time out at there beach house so it was great to spend some time in a house,there was so much room.
We went out to get mud crabs Ray took the kids out on the biscuit, we went out to Wallaman falls.
We had a great time and didn't really want to leave.
