Scamp swimming early this morning....

...lots of dogs out and about...

....interesting walk...

....then our turn to swim at Currimundi beach.

Later in the day Trish and I drove up to Noosa....

.....stunning beaches

.....the main beach at Noosa..

Aperol Spritz as we watched the sunset overlooking the Currimundi Inlet.

My school friend  Trish picked me up this morning from Michelle's. I am staying with her on the north coast for a couple of days. Whilst down in Brisbane Trish and I caught up with her 90 year old mum and took her out to coffee. Then up to Shorncliffe where I used to go for our primary school annual picnics.

Currimundi Beach , where Trish walks her dog, Scamp.

...and the inlet.

The highlight of the day was a boat ride to Bribie Island with a couple of Trisha's friends.

Bribie  Island, drinking Aperol spritzes...Trish, Sue and Marlene

Me, Trish and Marlene...

Looking south along the eastern side of the island...pristine!

Looking north on the eastern side of the island.

Beautiful sunset on the water....

I had a great time shopping with Michelle at Indooroopilly shopping centre.

A couple of photos of Bondi, on our way to breakfast with Phil and Carlo...

The yellow building was where we stayed....

After breakfast Pete drove me to the airport....landed in Brisbane after a very short while. Pete stayed in Sydney to caddy for Gareth. From Sydney's maisonettes to old Queenslanders here in Brisbane....Michelle and I went for walk (I had been sitting, eating and drinking for most of the day). 

Just love that I am here whilst the poincianas are in blume.

Today was pretty much a perfect day. It began with pancakes at an Israeli bakery with Pete, Phil and Carlo.

A few hours shopping in Westfield at Bondi Junction. Harry Hartog would probably be one of my favourite book shops.

A swim in the afternoon....not a good photo as there was quiet a lot of smoke from the bush fires in the west.

...and finally Pete and I went to the Opera House to see the Australian Ballet Company perform The Nutcracker....

After an early breakfast Pete and I drove up the coast and visited some of the beaches....above is Queenscliff beach.

Curl Curl where we stopped for a coffee...

Bilgoa beach where we stopped for lunch. A great afternoon followed by dinner with Phil, Carlo and the boys.

This afternoon I arrived in Sydney and this is the view of Bondi beach from our apartment window. This evening we went out to dinner with Carlo, Phil, Macario and Lucian.
