branch activity

Hi family

After discussion with Mum today I am checking in with a little branch info. This should really be from Denise but she's out of range right now (a bit like Christine!).

Denise has rounded up our family into a camping trip at Carnarvon Gorge (that's between Roma and Emerald) in the April school holidays, Mon 7 - Fri 11 April, to celebrate her 50th birthday. Mum managed to catch her on her mobile today, on her bike somewhere near Jandowae, and she has invited you all to join us. (Denise & Pete are currently on a nine day bike ride from Miles to Mooloolaba - tomorrow night they stay in Bell, and the next day ride through the Bunyas, so it's all very topical, not tropical.)

Next year Easter is March 21-24, and school holidays in Queensland are April 5-14, so they don't coincide, for the first time ever.

Eddie and Adelfa and the boys have holidays in April and will be down here from Mount Isa then, but not for Easter.

Proposition:
1. Join us at Carnarvon (www.takarakka.com.au)
2. Have something the weekend before or after our Carnarvon trip, maybe in Toowoomba (for those who can't come camping)
3. Do both!
4. Do something else

Obviously there won't be a magical date that suits everyone, but this is our two bob's worth. Andrew and I could make it for Easter, but not sure about my other siblings - no doubt they will weigh in with their own info.

Love Colleen

Pedalling holiday is over:( We passed Sunnyvale. Had the usual experience with camping holidays - some wet days to remind us how wonderful the dry days are.. I need to advise that I have adjusted the dates slightly for our family camp at Carnarvon Gorge, to begin on Saturday 5 April - to accommodate our uni student children whose holidays don't coincide with school holidays next year - to give them the chance to come for a while and not miss too many lectures if they want to head back to Bris midweek. However if the 5th is the best weekend all round for the reunion then we will just work around it - definitely look forward to being there. Love to all.
