Friday 18: We hung at in Atherton for a few hours - checking out the op shops and exploring the back streets...3pm and it was time to meet up with Gil, the owner of our house sitting property at Millaa Millaa.
Fantastic views through the mist and lots of animals to take care of: 3 dogs, 3 cats, 13 chickens and 5 ducks.
May 19 - 27: Due to the bad weather, we spent most of the week indoors: watching dvd's, playing a bit of music and watching the critters play in the mud. We did a couple of day trips to Millaa Millaa which has a good little museum and Malanda which is only 20mins down the road.
We met an old mechanic, Vince Seres who showed us round his shed.
We also popped into Millaa Millaa Falls which is only 5mins from where we are staying.
Wednesday one of the b/w chickens went missing after Indigo mauled it and Friday when we got back from a trip, the other b/w chicken was laying plucked and nearly dead. Danny had to put it out of it's misery. We were angry and shocked - we didn't think Indigo would do that.
On Saturday, my sister Lissie and her husband Buzzy came up from Cairns for a 21st. They made us feel a lot better about the whole chicken episode, she's a dog after all. (and the first missing chicken actually came back!)
So that night, we all went off to Butcher's Creek Hall and had a few for the young friend of my nephew.
Sunday, we said goodbye to my family and went off through the mist to Ravenshoe, the highest town in Qld! The markets were on and the train was at the station.
Thursday, Keith went to Atherton to get a much needed wheel alighnment.
The weather was still not great on Friday, so we just went to the Library at Millaa - very friendly staff and made me a cup of coffee while I did my internet stuff.
It had been an interesting and a bit depressing couple of weeks with the mist and rain keeping us mostly indoors.
