This charming photo is Peter and Barbara at the beginning of our new bridge. We managed to get it built in time for their use. Even though our weather here in QLD is beautiful, Barbara is dressed in costume for the Australian Rollerskating Championships. They both arrived back with medals.

Well done to both. They have both now flown back to Western Australia, without even one demonstration of rollerskating down our many ramps.

Albert need wonder no more what the bridge is. Little does he know it was because of him we added an improvement to our entrance. It was bought to our attention that having to open gates was annoying. Those gates were to keep the master of escape in, so in no way is he getting credit for the new bridge. I hear you ask ‘why can’t he escape over the bridge’. We also put another gate in, it gives you complete access without being annoyed by Albert or Logan. They can only see you through the gate. So if you want them to visit you a request has to be made. If they have been really good perhaps they will be allowed. We should have put the bridge in years ago, I reckon we would have walked 20kms less.

All we have to do now is figure out a way to keep the ducks out and then the pond will return to clear and perhaps some more fish. Any suggestions how to
keep them out?

Down the back of this B&B is a very well kept secret. A two minute walk from the house and rooms will bring you to a pontoon and boat ramp that has to be used to believed. When I visit I normally bring a rod and these two.

They make good helpers when they stop reading. I think they both should be looking for fish.

Even if you have no boat the pontoon itself makes for a great place to sit and read or do what should be done and fish. Murray will happily help out with anything you need to fish but be warned he hates it if you pull in something bigger than he does.

So one more photo with more of the river. It also contains smiles and sunshine.

So much has happened….Mum and Dad didn’t think so. Therefore they didn’t write anything. It has taken me forever to convince them to let me have my say. Someone should tell them you all prefer to hear from me, Albert. Then at least you would get more regular updates.


We have all been so busy with many wonderful people coming to stay. Well I have, SHE hasn’t. SHE doesn’t even try to look cute and play with anyone. SHE just wears a track where she runs and runs and runs and runs. Silly really. I ran too! Geez was Mum grumpy. I just went up the road. Then down the road. Don’t know why, but I was tied up after that. I didn’t mind, I was exhausted.


The Old Beech Shack and Camp kitchen were a huge hit. We have had many a fire and lots of yummy food. Many a story was told and records from way back before I was born had everyone dancing. Nearly everyone. Mum doesn’t do dancing she says. The out station will be much better when we get fireplaces in. I don’t get it either, there is the huge fire in the middle. Apparently you can never have too many fires. Something to do with kicking back, listening to music or spinning a yarn and being lovely and toasty warm.


Dad is really happy now to be, as he puts it, rusting away at home! We had a truck here in the paddock and Dad would go away for what seemed like a long time. But he is here all the time now. They are nearly finished a new room and garden. I love it, but no matter how much stuff they lift up I can’t find a lizard or snake to chase. I suppose I will have to play with HER if they don’t chase out anything. The next job is a bridge. I haven’t figured that one out. Guess I will just have to keep watching to see what and where that is to be.

The room they are working on is a beautiful new massage room. Mum said it will be so much easier to have people coming into her new room. I don’t know about that, the B&B rooms where she does all her massages now are really nice. What would I know about where massages are easier, I am a dog. She does give good massages, I just don’t get one often enough. And no, I don’t get my massage in the B&B rooms; I get mine on the verandah. That’s me in the photo, if I lay outside the massage room maybe I will get a massage.


Paws crossed!


I better go, I need to slink away and hide so I get locked inside again. It was so warm by the fire. I may be very brave and ask for a bath tomorrow. I want to look my best for our new guests coming. Bath! Scrub that, I am adorable as I am. It isn’t too late to come and stay and or book in for a massage. Don’t worry about the cold, the massage room today was full of sunlight and out front it was lovely and warm. 30 degrees..where else but Queensland.
