Wow it’s over a week since we last blogged. Ness is making coffee- yeah coffee. Where do I start? Last week we were held up in Hastings Point doing our course as most of you know. We met some very nice people that we hope to stay in touch with at least until we use their place to stop for free hahaha.
The course was not a waste of money but did find it lacking in lots areas- Ness is asking why I am being diplomatic. We enjoyed parts of it, loved the people we met and the occasional drinking we did with different ones. Ness liked morning tea and when we finished for the day best. We had lots of laughs; I think the biggest thing we got out of the week was, we don't want to manage a park fulltime as we are far from being ready to settle. It did give us a crash course in OHS for the east coast, which a lot of it we had been away for its implementing. A workplace is a workplace and it needs to be safe for all. We did learn that The OHS laws are becoming federally universal by 2012, which will take out the adjusting when travelling and changing jobs. Anyway we learnt something and we have another piece of paper.
The cat was returned to us on Monday morning- we knew we would pay for the separation time but we didn’t expect the reaction that we got, Scarlia was mental! She jumped from window to window and meowed the loudest we have ever heard her. This behaviour didn't stop. We stopped north of the airport and gave her a drink and something to eat. She finished eating in no time, thinking that maybe they didn’t give her anything to eat in the morning this will settle her- no!!! It got worse. We stop for a toilet break and a look at the big pineapple and we could hear her meowing from 100m away. We had a good run very little traffic/road works, but a sooky cat was taking the fun out of the trip. When we were leaving the Big Pineapple, I put her on my lap- she settled. She stayed on my lap all the way to Murgon and we had no problems. She ate again and we fed her again before we went to bed. We did note that she was loosing weight but put it down to we hadn't seen her in a week. She is still crying when ever she can't see us both and is sticking close by when we are around; so the conclusion is we don’t know what happen at the kennels but she wont be going there again.
Arrived at Murgon around 4.00pm, drove to the council caravan park but it was closed. Michelle’s dad said that we could park out the front of his place for a while, so we have. Its Wednesday the 2nd June it’s as foggy as a horror movie quite except for some magpies. Michelle’s making some honey and banana muffins at the moment so I am allowed to touch the computer under supervision. There are quite a lot of wineries around Murgon so we went for a drive, went to the first one and it was closed, moved to the second one, it was closed I must be getting slow on the pick-up as the third one was closed as well. Murgon is about 40 km north of Kingaroy, in the South Burnett region, Murgon’s water comes from the Bjelke Petersen Dam. We are moving to Barambah Bush Caravan Park today just to the south east of Murgon, checked it out yesterday looks really nice. Going to do the house chores today washing, cleaning bla bla bla. But maybe not, Michelle’s dad just said that he will follow, yep not much to do in Murgon.
