Day 140 Greens Creek via Gympie Thursday 25th October 2012

Hi folks,

We have arrived at our next Helpx out of Gympie at a location called Greens Creek.

We awoke to a light dew just enough to wet our crocks on the ground outside. The night in the swag was very comfortable. After breakfasting and packing in leisurely fashion we departed with our first stop about 2 km up the road to see Des and Irene our hosts from about 7 weeks ago and the progress on their house. It was good to catch up and have some of Irene's morning tea. After saying goodbyes we travelled along familiar roads.

This situation didn't last once the GPS assumed control. I missed a turning as i was engrossed in listening to the audio book "The Fourth Protocol" by Frederick Forsyth. The GPS took us along a road to a no through street as the rest of the road has yet to be built. A common occurrence with GPS's according to the gentleman Susan approached for directions.

Eventually we made it to Kenilworth where we visited the Nepalese Op shop, had a tuna salad lunch in the park, a coffee and borrowed 6 talking books from the library. The laptop will be running flat out this week.

The GPS made a better fist of finding our hosts house. Dan showed us round and immediately I felt we will learn some things here.
The ground here is very dry and the whole area seems much drier than our last visit 6 weeks ago. Seems we are no longer the rainmakers.
The house is well appointed and we have a nice bedroom with our own shower etc. We had a nice tea and had a good education session about bees from Dan.

Dan and his wife Roxy will be out all morning tomorrow so we will have a spin into Gympie and work in the afternoon.

night folks

Simon
