My trip to Bargara

[50gumbys]

Over the holidays I took a trip south to Bargara Beach.

I met some very interesting people!

And I have some photos to share.

Nice. I love the beach :-)

I too would love to see the beautiful beaches

Oh dear - I keep trying to upload photos, but I end up with the dreaded message = connection problems.

Do I use the function "Attach a file" ?

That's what I've been trying.

And now I've looked at my photos and a number of them are larger than 1000KB.

Is there something I can do about this?

Sorry to be a pain folks!

OK - here goes!

This is the 'beach' just down from Lyn and Dieter's place.

It's all lava rock.

Yayyyyyyyy - I got it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And this is Buddy - he just seemed to blend into the rocks!

We got him from a Return Visit.

She was dying from cancer - we said we'd take him in.

She died 2 weeks later.

But Buddy's luvin' life!

OK - now it's people time!

That's Lyn and myself in the back.

In front is Rose and Gaby.

We just met that day and got on like a house on fire !!!!

(Rose and Gaby are Mother and Daughter living south of Sydney)

And this one is Tori, me, Lyn, Nina, Leonie.

We are fam-i-ly.

I got all my sisters with me..

We had a barbecue on the beach.

Maria (from Brisbane), Tori, Wayne (Leonie's hubby), Lyn and her hubby Dieter.

And I couldn't leave this one out.

I had 3 prawns on my plate and went to make seafood sauce for them.

Came back in - the last prawn was in Buddy's mouth !!

OK - this wasn't on this particular trip - but it's at a beach south of us.

Gorgeous beaches - beautiful clear blue water - coral right up to the beach.

It's Bowen - the town they used to film the movie 'Australia'. (part of it was filmed in Darwin)

Oh dear - just realised I made a mistake in the first picture of the sisters.

In the front row are Rose and Lyn, and in the back are Gaby and myself.

Lori, ,

You are awesome for sharing your photo's. I particularly enjoyed Buddy. You are so blessed to have this little shrimp stealer! I had the same thing happen with Chester (Bishon) when we adopted him, I got up to get the salt and he hopped up on my chair and started gulping down my breakfast!! He came to us so damaged I couldn't yell at him, so he ate eggs and potatoes and I had cereal.

I wish more bro's and sis's would share like you did so we can enjoy their part of the globe. Maybe we can start a thread where we can post 3 or 4 pictures of places close to us or with family, congregation or on a vacation, that way we can enjoy each others' world. You are completely on the other side of the world from me and I got to see a bit of life (and people) where you're at. Thanks.
