This summer has been the hottest since our arrival in Qld some 5 years ago, and we are looking forward to the lovely sunny winter. A flying holiday to Orchard Beach on Fraser Island with friends was great, although the tail end of a monsoon made it difficult to get off the island, and we had to leave the aircraft at Maryborough for a week and drive home. We really enjoyed exploring the sandy tracks by 4x4 and along 75 mile Beach.
