I have been neglecting writing about our travels so here is a thumbsketch...
Arrived back in Australia in Late October.
Visited a friend in Mackay Queensland in early December.
I (Judy) went to the U.S. for almost all of January to settle my 95 year old Mother into assisted living at her request. I have a really smart mother who has been in independent living all of this time, but who has now recognised there are things she can't do by herself anymore.
Peter stayed in the Hunter Valley and flew balloons for training, fun, and for tethering the 'Flag' balloon on Australia Day which was 'weathered out' due to rain.
We are driving to our 'tree property' in Tasmania tomorrow and won't be back in the Hunter for about 3 weeks. We are taking the Tasman Ferry from Melbourne to Devonport with our car.
