Mandy stayed here for several months when she first arrived in Australia as a child
2009-12-27_DMC-LX3_P1060002.jpg

The site has some unhappy memories for Mandy.

The site is now a holiday and conference venue.  It's past history is a difficult story. See [1], [2], [3] ...these are not a comfortable read.

This was the cottage where she stayed with her three sisters and many more children

It is just coincidence that Grant now works here (tutoring indigenous youngsters to acquire a trade)

Sunday 27 December

We go to Jason & Kim's for a Baker Christmas celebration.  It's pushing 39c and the pool is beckoning.
