FRIDAY 27th AUGUST
2010 ( Helens Birthday ,, Skips sister )
07.00hrs Another beautifull day in
Australia,
Neil T. went off on a tour to Litchfield National
Park with the WARC crowd, Here he met many of the people that were at
the dinner last
night and hit it off with " Oisin" from
Donigal,
Aileen travelled to town and did her own tour of
the botinical gardens and visited some historical buildings,
Later skipper met her in town and we toddled off to
the Government house, which is only open a couple of days in the
year,
This was a beautifully designed building,
crisp white tall single storey building, almost gothic in style, and had really
very simple proportions and then surrounded with a
verandah which was enclosed with white crisp louvres, a little architectural
gem.
Before all this, skipper watched the mechanic
finish off his work on servicing the engines. and then tested both to make sure
every thing
was running as they should.. ....... and
happy with this, set about rearranging all the books and saloon
presses.
Stephen and Aileen went to Cullen's Bay for dinner
in an Italian restaurant, and then returned to " A Lady" ,
We met some of the other crews on the way and had
to stop and chat for a while,
Then tried and failed miserably to get the laptop
to work and Skype Leah, Michelle, and Stefan. Crips, skip just cannot get the
hang of this yoke at all............
We had an early night as we are going to the "
Kakatu National Park " tomorrow for 3 days, up at 05.30.. ohhhhh no, not
again,
Thats it for a short day.
Signed :- Stephen Hyde (
Skipper )
