A break away

July 7, 2008

We had a lovely time, O’Reilly Rainforest is a slice of heaven. The weather was not that great but after all it is a rain forest. We all did a couple of the shorter walks on the Friday, then Graham and Jess did the twenty five km walk on the Saturday. If poured rain all day and some of the time it was extremely heavy, it meant that they couldn’t see any of the wonderful scenery as it was just low clouds. They got back just before dark, I was starting to get really worried, they were drenched to the skin and extremely tired. Jess was recovered by the next morning but Graham will still take a few more days to recover (old age).

I got time to stitch  and read on the Saturday, sitting before the fire and occasionally looking out at the valley. It was such a peaceful day but I started to get very anxious around 4.30 as they were still not back. Luck I got the phone call not long after that to go and pick them up.

If you’re going to be anxious, best to be “stitchin’ anxious”. Avoiding cigarettes in these sort of circumstaces I either stitch or garden furiously. Glad everyone was safe and sound and that you all had a great time.Great photos!

Thank you Sandra for the comment that you left at my blog. I went on Lamington NP one month ago: fantastic place! I’d like to came there again soon. Great picture!

Oh wow! They did the Binna Burra/O’Reilly’s walk. That is pretty cool. And in the rain at that!
I was going to say, you were at O’Reilly’s and you didn’t let me know… but I was in Stanthorpe then. lol
Glad you relaxed and enjoyed your break.
