Tramp


Trampoline
This trampoline is more than 30yrs old. For Chirstmas one year the Eather Kids had a choice 3 small presents each or one big one to share. We chose the BIG one and had years of fun. The tramp now lives in Gladstone with the guests. Quite a few Myella guests fell off it so for safety we gave it away, also it was nice to have the same childhood memories as the grand kids.

Peter's 70th Party

Olive and Peter listening to the speaches at Dad's party. It was also the 10yr brithday of Myella farm stay and the opening of the new wing rooms.

Kangaroo Skiing
I LOVE this sign it's on the way to Rockhampton. On this same stretch of road a very unlucky guy riding a bicycle was hit by a dead kangaroo. Yep, he was riding his bike in one direction and a car coming the other way hit a roo and it was propelled through the air and landed on the innociety cyclist and broke a few bones, including his jaw.


Making Beer

Here is Peter and guests in background making beer. Peter is putting the caps on the bottles and the guests are filling them. It's about 4% alcohol

Olive took this picture, she thinks she's a bad photographer. I LOVE this picture and think it would make a good image to use as a puzzle.

Lyn Watering Children


Hosing The Kids
A typical day leading to Christmas, a water fight. We don't get many fires so might as well use the fire hose for something. This is Lyn hosing Jessie.
