New Year's Eve Day was our first excursion to Nambour Center to go grocery shopping and pick up some basics. We were surprised at how expensive groceries are here! Our property manager, Ian, was kind enough to give us a lift to the shop and back, so that we wouldn't have to carry our groceries the whole way up this monsterous hill that lies between us and a the center.
Ian was also kind enough to invite us to join him at a New Year's barbie at the home of his Kiwi friends, Liz & Bruce, in Palmwoods. We graciously accepted! They had a lovely home that overlooked the Blackall Ridge & we saw one of the most majestic sunsets I've ever seen! We met a bunch of their neighbours & had a night of lovely bbq, good conversation and a few glasses of wine.
We arrived home before midnight due to absolute jet-lag. We watched the fireworks in Sydney on the tellie. They were supposedly the biggest display in the world this year. You can check them out here: www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov .au/nye/
Happy New Year to all!
