HAPPINESS

"He was discovering happiness in the present. When he sat reading in the library, or playing Mozart in the music room, he often felt the invasion of a deep spiritual emotion, as if Shangri-LA were indeed a living essence, distilled from the magic of the ages and miraculously preserved against time..."

More on Australia

"The Journey Gives Meaning to Our Destination"

We've been unpacking our bags from our trip  to Queensland.  I finally had time to catch-up with the travel blog.  It was a whirlwind trip.  The Sunshine Coast lived up to it's reputation. There were lots of sunny hot days.  There was only one or two brief downpours at Fraser Island.

   




 Here were  wild kangaroos in the woods after our day of horse riding.  A mob of roos hung out near our beachhouse, nightly.  Of course, we got to feed the roos at the Australian Zoo from our hands.

       Our time in New Zealand is winding down. Al was back at Taranaki District Base Hospital for his last week of work.  He had a weekend of psychiatric call as payback for his vacation.   Now, he  went to a meeting at Christchurch (South Island).  Gabe has about a week of school at New Plymouth Boys High School. There are only 2 more Saturdays for gymnastics.  Maybe, we can squeeze in time for a tramp at the mountain.  Then, we say our goodbyes at the office parties and its"outta here".

  1. Horse riding in Noosa on the North Shore is definitely something you won't forget, looks like it was a good day for it, with a low tide too.
