Good flight, long queues at immigration etc & thought we would miss our shuttle bus to Maleny, but being cheeky these days, I asked to be pushed ahead & was. No real sign of the floods on outskirts of Brisbane but much greener than I have ever seen it before at this time of year. Straight into caravan hunting as soon as son Trevor collected us from bus. Supposedly big clearance sales on, (new vans only) but everything more expensive than we had anticipated. Miss our own NZ 'little playhouse' already. Trevor had a possible vehicle lined up which we have decided to buy, a white Landcruiser in lovely condition. Also a new caravan which Stu is keen on. The nightmare now starts to register, insure etc. The paperwork is incredible so Stu is not happy but we are very lucky to have Trevor to help us with everything, & also to have an address we can use here (his).
After all the floods here the gardens are looking so tropical & luxurious -would love to be able to grow some of the plants they have here.
