We left around 9.40am yesterday morning and drove to Aussie World. We arrived about 11.15am and got our tickets.
We went on some merry go round rides. We tried the ferris wheel but it was too tame for Sienna.
When it was nearly 12pm we had lunch. I had a works burger with chips and a chocolate milkshake. Sienna had a chicken and cheese sandwich.
We went on a whizzing spinning ride and Sienna loved it. It didnt bother me apart from just having had lunch so it was a bit mixed up and unsettled. We went on a big spinning swing which rose something like 20 feet in the air. Sienna loved it. She really is a daredevil. We went on the whizzing ride again then Sienna went on a few more merry go round rides and we jumped in the car.
We drove up to near Noosa Heads and stopped at the first petrol station to fill up. We only just made it on the last fumes.
Next I looked on the map for the place we were to stay at. It was on the opposite side of the roundabout from the petrol station. We booked into our room and Sienna went to sleep for a couple of hours.
When she awoke we went out to find food. We popped into CJ’s on the River.
I had Surf and Turf. They actually gave me a bowl with about 10 prawns in garlic and cream sauce. Yum.
Sienna had chicken nuggets and chips. They have her pencils and paper to draw with while we waited for food. Unfortunately for us the keyboard player had one song left to sing and left shortly after we arrived.
We finished up and headed back to our room and had a spa bath. Very nice. We watched a show on crocodiler on Animal Planet and went to bed.
This morning we got up and headed out to find breakfast. We stopped at the first place we found open which was the same place we were at last night. I had bacon and eggs and a mocha coffee while Sienna nibbled at some raisin toast.
We left and drove to the Big Pineapple. Sienna loved it and lest talking about going up into the pineapple which we did. We also rode on a mini train and stopped to feed the animals. They had goats, sheep, a donkey, dingoes, pigs, llamas, kangaroos and a deer. Sienna hand fed many animals and even a wallaby. We caught the train back up and waited for the next train. Sienna played with some other kids then we jumped on the train and had some macadamia nuts. When the train got back we ordered a fruit salad parfait. It had macadamia ice cream.
We left there and drove to a medieval castle. Sienna had fun walking around the castle and looking at all the medieval things and won a chocolate for finding easter eggs pictures.
We left the castle and looked for a replica of the endeavor ship but only found a small boat which surely was not it so headed north again. While driving I noticed Sienna had fallen asleep in the car so came back to our room. Sienna has been asleep ever since.
At the moment on tv is The Princess Bride so Im watching it until she awakens.

Sunshine Coast holiday
Monday, April 23rd, 2007Catching up with friends and relatives
Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007This Christmas Sienna has met with more of my (and her) cousins than ever before.
We visited my parents and cousins.
We stayed overnight with my cousins and she had fantastic fun blowing bubbles and watching the dogs try to catch and eat the bubbles. After about four hours of that the dogs were foaming at the mouth from the bubbles mixture and you would think they had rabies haha!
She played their pianos a lot and loved that too. Maybe daddy will have to get her piano lessons one day!
I also caught up with my next door neighbour from my childhood. He’s a doctor whose family is from Sri Lanka. We used to get into so much trouble.
We also went shopping in Port Macquarie and bought Sienna some new clothes and shoes as well as other clothes for me.
Sienna got a scooter and kite from me and we took the kite out for a spin.
Shopping day
Wednesday, December 27th, 2006Today we did some shopping. We got a nice pair of joggers for Sienna and some socks.
Next we went to Target and bought some new pyjamas. There was a four piece set - one short and one long pants and two tops - with a discount 30% off!
I got a couple of good shirts too.
We had a real nice Christmas. Sienna got a Minnie Mouse watch, a couple of balls, a kite, a scooter, some clothes, a princess bag and suitcase and wand and tiara.
I got two pairs of pyjamas, a book and other stuff.
Tomorrow we might visit some relatives Sienna has not met yet. It will benice for her to see some of her cousins.
Merry Christmas!
Monday, December 25th, 2006I wish all my readers a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic, wonderful New Year!
You deserve all the best and a much improved year with all the wonderful times you can handle and then some!
The Bundy adventure continues
Monday, October 30th, 2006So here I am in Bundaberg waiting for lunch to be delivered. I went to the rsl club but it was full of customers and looked like cheap quality food. This hotel does not seem to be much faster but then I do order my steak Well Done. Ah here it is! Turns out they lost the order. . But what me worry?
I finished all work by 10.30am and my plane isn’t until 5pm
A fantastic weekend!
Monday, October 30th, 2006I will re-edit this tonight when I get home. In the meantime, try to read it. I will have to patch my mail script to delete the weird characters from this mobile.
Friday night I picked up Sienna from her mum’s in a hire car I had been driving down the Gold Coast for work. She wanted to know if I had crashed my car and needed to get a new one lol! Too clever that girl is. I sound like Yoda.
Saturday morning we took the car back to Hertz rentals and took the train back home. When we passed the station before mine we saw a carnival. Sienna wanted to go to the ‘birthday party’ so we drove there and went in. She went on many rides including a kids bumper boat, kid sized ferris wheel, jumbo slide, car ride etc. We grabbed an ice cream and watched the Islander dances them got a bag with giant bubble wand and solution which we spent the evening playing with.
It was a hot hot hot day! I need air conditioning in my car or a new one.
Sunday we took a bit easier and rested and cleaned up the house. I took Sienna back home and headed off to poker.
Poker went quite well and I beat my personal best by coming 4th .. Only just, too! Another guy went out at the same time but since I was first to bet it meant I came 4th instead of 3rd. Maybe I should not have let the host talk me into betting heh. Ah well it was still great fun. Back again thursday.
Today I am flying to Bundaberg. I am currently at the airport waiting for my flight. I checked in on the computer myself to save standing in line. See you this afternoon when I get back!
Visitors gone
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006Had a great weekend Chris and Jo came up with their lil girl Caitlyn and
stayed a couple of nights
Yesterday we took the girls to the park and Sienna had a play with the kids
there, going up and down the slides and on the swings, etc.
We had lunch there as well but Sienna was too excited to eat much. She had
fun helping some boys feed a cockatoo some flowers they found nearby in the
park garden (oops).
We checked out the animals there too and a swan tried to bite Sienna’s
foot. I don’t think it really hurt her but she got a surprise and was
crying. Daddy made it all better tho ![]()
When one started chasing down Joey we left quickly.
Last night Chris & Jo wanted a game of Ten Pin Bowling so I took them to my
bowling centre. I won’t mention who won the games but enough to say it
wasn’t me nor Chris.
We watched Green Wing last night and I don’t think Chris nor Jo will be
watching it again hehehe. Too weird. But there were some funny things
going on they got a laugh at. Such as a doctor boiling up a plunger full of
coffee and funnelling it down a tube for his coffee enema.
The visitors headed back off again today. I think they were staying at a
friend’s place overnight and going back down south tomorrow.. or something
