CURRA FRIENDS

 We drove three hours north of Brisbane to Curra. Our friends, Ben and Lyn have bought a new house in a new estate there. All the blocks are acreages which have been carved out of farmland. It is living in the country. We had a very relaxing few days with them. Ben and Bill migrated from Switzerland together in 1967 when they were in their early twenties. They came for two years to learn English and then go home. They both married Aussie girls and are still here. We have been friends ever since although sometimes long distant friends as we spent time in PNG and Ben and Lyn spent time in NT and then in many different places. We have had fun visiting them in all their different abodes. In the evenings we love playing a Swiss Card game called Jass.

When we arrived Lyn was feeding the Butcher Birds.  She shouldn't really feed wildlife  but sometimes you can't resist their begging.

The view from their back patio was pretty and calming.

The next morning it was even more pretty.

We had breakfast on the patio as Spring is in the air. The old boys enjoy catching up.

They took us for a drive through bushland to Tin Can Bay Yacht Club for lunch. I could see the fish from our table on the deck.

An old relaxed couple. We had to take our dark glasses off.
