We enjoyed a lovely lunch of home made vegetable soup with warm bread. Beautifully prepared by Beatte. We then completed a rushed trip into Gatton for necessary supplies (another bottle of Scotch) basic food and something to settle my stomach which had been upset for some weeks.

After trying to source a hire car I phoned Barry and Anne Spencer (Corrie’s parents) and they came to our rescue. Having secured the aircraft, they collected us and drove to Bli Bli where we settled in to drinks and nibbles on the verandah looking down the valley towards Maroochydore.
