Another perfect start to the day with blue skies and temperatures warming. Kally and her two kids joined us for breakfast and we all chatted for the morning. A nice laid back welcome to Bribie Island.
Where to for lunch? Why the Sandstone Point Hotel of course with its overlook of the back channel between Bribie Island and the mainland. It is a very impressive complex with still a lot more work to be done over the next few years. The meals and atmosphere was great and soon a couple of hours had been gobbled up.
We enjoyed some seafood and sandwiches with appropriate beverages, before going on a tour of the Island checking out the canal suburbs and the beach on the eastern side at Woorim. There was even a car carrier heading through the channel towards the Port of Brisbane.
It was approaching afternoon smoko time so off to Scoopys for Icecream and coffee. You could definitely get used to this island life.
Julie and Jenny headed down to Brisbane to catch up with Jenna and to grab the grandkids for the night. The kids are apparently early risers so it looks like Jenny will be staying in the house tonight. Aunty Jenny will be in charge of the kids in the morning.
Thought I had better catch up with Liz and Bruce since we are staying with them at Maryborough tomorrow night. Lucky I did. They are up at Bundaberg for a Geocaching Event so I guess we will be heading through to Bundaberg now.
We were about to go to bed when one of the corners moved forward. That was strange. I check to see if there was an issue with the slide out motors but they were working OK. Then the whole bed launched forward. That was very strange. A quick check and the first movement was a bed hinge breaking and the second movement was the other 3 hinges opening up and letting go. The two lifting rams then pushed the bed forward.
On checking the hinges, they were only aluminium with little strength. After doing a quick fix it was off to bed. I will look at replacing the hinges in the morning.
