Alister's home from the RAAF for a month and Mary and Jude decided to visit us for a week. We were going to climb Mt. Warning, but it had been very wet so this was postponed. The boys and their partners came round for a late Christmas lunch and then we celebreated again when my little sister arrived. We had a great evening dining out at the Calypso Restaurant which is close to where we live and then also another evening at the Outback Spectular. This was a great show that also included a three course meal and drinks.
