Brisbane
The last stop on our holiday is Brisbane. It is 19 years since Sharon was last here and saw Joyce, Noel, Lesley-Anne and Shelley. Shelley is in London at the moment but it is so fantastic to see everyone else again and introduce the rest of the Jenkins rabble. Joyce and Noel must have been working like mad before we arrive and it means we can spend the whole week together. It’s like we have never been away; Noel has the same dry sense of humour, cracking jokes the whole week – it’s fun to watch the kids as they don’t really get it all but their faces are a great picture and Ben gives him a good run for his money; Joyce hasn’t changed either and is so lovely, we are all thoroughly spoilt for the week. Lesley manages to make it over for a couple of evenings, we have the chance to catch up and she has a dog called Scooby Doo which goes down well with the kids.We visit all the places we did when I was here last – we go into Brisbane itself, walk along the South Bank and swim in Parklands, we spend time on the beach at Redcliffe, head up the Sunshine Coast to Caloundra and Mooloolaba beach and also spend a day down on the Gold coast at Surfers Paradise.
In amongst all of this, we visit Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary where we are able to see koalas and get close to kangaroos and Sea World where the highlights are the dolphin show and wipeout water ski show.

So great to see you having so much fun. Can't wait for the next installment.
Home from Cornwall and have caught up with the blog. Great photographs, up to your usual standard! You are obviously enjoying yourselves enormously and we are looking forward to seeing you via the web cam when you are settled in Christchurch. Louise looks good in her skirt. We drove back on Sunday past Great Coxwell and that brought back many happy memories.
Lots of love
Mum and Paul
