60th Anniversary Party

My parents Bob & Dawn

From Mount Beauty we drove to Finley, which is in the Southern Riverina of NSW, for my parents 60th Wedding Anniversary, I would like to congratulate them on a wonderful life they have shared together. A great night was had by all the family & their friends celebrating the anniversary on saturday night.

All the Family



Easter

Jenni, Hannah & Emma

We had a very enjoyable easter at Mount Beauty, like everyone we ate to much chocolate, lucky easter only comes once a year.
Dale went fishing with Brad & Emma and Emma caught her first fish, it was a Rainbow Trout, we had one very excited little girl.
We also drove up to Falls Creek on Easter Sunday for a family fun day. We went for a ride on the Chairlift up to the Summit, got some really good views, the only thing wrong was that it was a bit chilly up there.

Time Off, over in the Eastern States

Trent

Drove to Perth from Cascade, saw our nephew Trent then flew over to Rockhampton via Brisbane.
We had a very busy & enjoyable week in Rockhampton & Gladstone catching up with friends, special thanks to Phill & Shell. We also checked on our house & storage shed, everything was ok especially after all the rain Rockhampton has had over the summer.

Dale & Ty

We flew down to Sydney where our daugther Dianne & hubby Ty met us then we drove to their home at Singleton near Newcastle. They took us to our first ever live game of NRL, Dale & I are born & bred AFL supporters (Essendon & St Kilda) Ty is a Newcastle knights supporter. One thing for sure it doesn't matter whether its AFL or NRL the umpire always gets abused. The game was different but not that bad, still trying to work the cheerleader thing! The Newcastle Knights won so Ty was happy.

Dianne

Our time with Dianne & Ty went far to quickly & we had to leave and we flew to Albury on the border of NSW & Victoria to see Dale's brother Jeff & Josey

Dale & Jeff

Its easter now and we have just arrived to spend it with our daugther Marie & hubby Brad & our granddaugthers Emma & Hannah at Mount Beauty which is at the base of Falls Creek in the snow fields in Victoria's northeast.

Day Off Fishing



Dale with his Salmon



We went fishing at Stokes Beach on Saturday.At the start of the day everyone but Dale & James were catching Bream at the inlet. We drove out along Stokes Beach, had a bit of fun there then Dale caught a Salmon then so did James. We had a beautiful meal of fresh fish for dinner to celebrate Dale's birthday.

Weekend Off in March

Reve, Rohonda, Jenni & Dale

We had 20ml of rain last week so we got to have a few days off, which worked out really well as friends Rohonda & Reve, who met in Darwin 3 years are travelling around over this way. We met at Lake King for a drink or 6 at the local Tavern. Next morning we went to Wave Rock & had a surf.

Work in March

After carting the Super Dale went to Lake Tay, its a natural Gypsum pit north west of Cascade. Dale loaded himself at the pit then came back to the farms at Cascade and stockpiled the Gypsum to spread out before the seeding starts late April/May. 

Back to Work, end of Febraury



Filling the Spreader



Dale got the OK to return to work, which he was very happy about, the Professor who did the op is very please & as we said it was a binign tumor. During last month he has been carting super from Esperance to the farms at Cascade and spreading it on the pastures.
