Spending a bit of time in the Far North was quite an experience.
We were looked after by our mates Jason and Jodee (who are expecting baby # 2 as I write this), and got to meet their toddler son Jake for the first time. (Sorry there’s no photo guys – can’t believe we didn’t snap one of us all together!)
Paul and I also stayed at their private sanctuary at Oak Beach – just lovely!
Along with getting in a fair amount of R & R, we also played tourist.
At times this involved stepping right outside my comfort zone and facing head on some of the changes that have occurred to my body.
I quickly discovered how different it is when you’re not protected by the relative ‘safety’ of your usual surrounds.
Looking at some of these shots – I don’t even feel like it’s my body!
These images aside – how spectacular is our location of Mossman Gorge?!
We also caught up with my friend Nerida, her husband Phil (who funnily enough works at ABC radio) and her parents Ken & Bev. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen Nerida and Phil, but 20 years since I’ve seen her Mum & Dad! We had a terrific night and talked lots about their life in the tropical north as well as what’s become of the former members of Virginia State School Swimming Club!
