Bairnsdale - with the Walkers



We met this great family when we were in Esperance, and caught up with them again in Streaky Bay. Dave and Pete have a mutual interest in surfing.
We were so very lucky to be invited to stop with them when we got to Victoria - so on our way up to Falls Creek to work, we called in and spent a week with them all.

They took us to the coolest event I have ever been to - Lawnmower Racing... IT WAS BRILLIANT.. Now Dad can get some inspiration for his ride on mower...


and then took us out on their speed boat (she's a ripper) We learnt the valuable lesson of remembering to put the BUNG in! Exciting times!


Here we are in Paynesville about to get on the boat after lunch... "it's the done thing around here" (and I like it!)

Mandy and Pete have been so good to us, they even let us leave our van in one of their sheds while we are away.
I know when we go back - Dave is looking forward to catching up with Pete and hitting the surf!!
(and to feeding their cows again- ha ha)
