We decided that a surprise visit from us would cheer her up. We made contact with her husband via the business mobile phone and made arrangements.
Went to the Glass House mountains caravan park for Wednesday and Thursday nights, did our washing etc and hoped that we were not spotted in the township.
Husband told us that Della would be out Friday morning from 10 am and that he'd tell her to be home by midday to sign for a parcel.
We duly arrived while Della was out and set up our vans out the back of their property
At about 11.30 Della arrived home and drove round the back to unload the shopping, saw a van parked so continued up. Got out of her car and said, "what the **** **** are you people doing here! Get off my property! This is not a free camp for grey nomads!!"
But look what another computer literate grey nomad did to our photo
We had a lovely weekend with them. Talking, eating, laughing and the usual pikelets, pavlova, and this time trifle (except Brandt put double the amount of sherry. After all it was the first trifle he had made. Will put a better amount in next time.) as you can imagine we all ended up a bit giggly that night.
Was great to see Della and her husband Graeme completely relaxed.
On Sunday we were sent on a drive around the glass house mountains as they wanted to cook dinner for us (we hadnt let them provide any food for the first two days)
At a lookout I spied what I thought was a wonderful father with his young daughter together taking a photo of the view. She was encouraged to move the camera to her preferred snot and shown where the button was etc. I just couldn't help myself. I just HAD to take a photo....
...and at their request, emailed the photo to them.
Monday, being Queens Birthday in Queensland, we left and went down the road a little and camped for the night, having heard the truckies talking about how bad and slow the traffic was on the Southern route into Brisbane.
