Home again

Hi everyone,
I am home again and wishing I was back in Queensland! It was such a wonderful break. So much sunshine and so much fun.
Fraser Island was the highpoint for me. I achieved a long held dream of swimming across Lake MacKenzie. The water was fresh and warm and the swim one of the most memorable. Not in terms of length, it’s hardly the English Channel but it was meaningful to me.
We went back on foot the next day and it was a 21 kilometre round trip so it gave me foot a good work out. It was a real test and I passed with flying colours. Hardly any swelling and pain so that was such a relief. There will be no stopping me now!
The other lovely thing we did was go to Australia Zoo just out of Caloundra. It was started by the amazing and sadly now deceased Steve Irwin. I felt touched by the experience of visiting his wildlife world. I hope you like the photo of the koala who was having a nap. Did you know they sleep for 20 hours a day?
Now it is back to work and of course the lead up to Christmas. I am slowly getting organised. I am still in holiday mode!
Have a happy week,
Mel
