1 & 6. We had a hugely enjoyable 2 days with Ian and Anne at their beautifully restored Baddow House sitting right on the Mary River. The Mary River estuary was the 2nd biggest port to Sydney in the very early days of colonisation and those tall ocean going sailing ships would have sailed right by this site now on the edge of the historic town of Maryborough. Ian and Anne have done a momentous job of restoring the house.
2 & 3. On Ian's recommendation we stopped for a walk and picnic at Rainbow Beach on our way to Bruce and Delia's at Gympie.
4 Bruce , Delia, and Rossie with whom we have not stayed for 35 years - in those days at Ibis Creek. Rossie a babe in arms at that time. It was a delightful stay , seeing the store they run and the plans for development, exploring Gympie and the mining museum - and much catching up - no bridge sadly - next time ( hopefully not 35 years ).
5 . Mary with Ian at Belbury , Montville - en route to Brisbane for Fairfax wedding.
