will be there sunday

Thanks mate, noted. We've had a look back and can't see if you've chosen your pie; you're one of the last few who hasn't nominated a choice. Can you take a look at the menu and let us know? Thanks.

John & Kate

NR2018 Mackay
An alternative to the Sunday Snooze...

We told you last time that we were trying to plan one last activity. Well, here's the idea.

)

When we were at Mackay Kawasaki discussing the possibility of sponsorship with them, Luke Burgess (the manager), mentioned that on the NatRally Sunday afternoon, he'd be happy to take the company jetski out onto Kinchant Dam and give members rides, and put on a bit of a BBQ. We told you he was a top bloke... So, we're trying to gauge whether enough of you would be interested in doing this, to warrant him giving up his Sunday arvo, faff about with the jetski and sort out a barbie – for a bunch of Honda riders, no less!

Sunday arvo in the school holidays. Grim, isn't it...?

This is what Kinchant Dam is like. It's a very popular local spot for water skiing, jetskis, canoes, fishing, camping and picnics.

There's a café and amenities at the caravan park there (Kinchant Waters), if sitting with a cup of coffee and admiring the view is more your speed than whizzing around on a jetski.

The Kinchant Waters Café

The view. Ah, the serenity...

The plan would be to head there directly after the RTE to The Old Station Teahouse. It's a 45 minute ride, using this route... https://goo.gl/maps/guCNtXehvb72

The alternatives to this are heading out to the Pacific Hotel at Eimeo for a clifftop relax and a pub lunch (we've already posted about that), or you could head back to the BIG4 and lounge around to build up your STrength for the STraggler's Night... your call.

Let us know what you think. We know there will be at least 30 people still here on Sunday afternoon, but if there's only a handful interested in the jetski experience, we won't drag Luke out and put him to all that trouble. If a double handful like the idea of a waterside BBQ, even if not everyone wants to actually take to the water itself, then we're good to go, but we need to give Luke a heads-up, which is why we're asking for your response.

We'll leave the offer open for another 2 weeks and then we'll have to look at the numbers and make a decision.

Bill & Leonie (Biggles)

If you're interested, please add your name to the list.

So Sunday STayers, we hope we've given you one more reason to hang around!

Cheers
John & Kate.

If Mrs Biggles joins that Parliament I'm fearful of the possible resolutions that may be enacted...

No JetSki for us, but we'll cheer from the sidelines and give scores for the best performance.

We hit the road this morning.

Biggles · « **Reply #222 on:** July 15, 2018, 06:20:02 PM »

I don't know anything about jet skis. Do I need to buy a ski mask and ski poles?

Thinking Theresa and I checked out on the Sunday I just checked my booking to realise the cabin is booked until Monday morning.
Theresa is still flying out Sunday but I will be leaving Monday morning so besides the time taken to take Theresa to the airport Sunday afternoon shall be in on everything.
